title: using npm request to fetch a blob of files
body: <p>I have some files on a CDN that I want to bring into a local project. I was trying to automate this in my <code>gulpfile</code> by using npm's <code>request</code> module.</p>
  
  <p>But I'm having a difficult time getting it to work with the blob of files;</p>
  
  <pre><code>var core = request({ 
       url: `${cdn}/core/**/*.scss`, 
       headers: requestHeaders})
     .pipe(gulp.dest(`${local}`));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it just not possible to do this with <code>request</code>? It's not a mandatory requirement, but it sure would be convenient.</p>
