http-browserify-2

http-browserify-2 is an alternative for http-browserify.

Installation

$ npm install http-browserify-2

Quick start

First you need to register http-browserify-2 as a replacement to the http and https modules in your application's package.json file.

{
  "browser": {
    "http": "http-browserify-2/http",
    "https": "http-browserify-2/https"
  }
}

Then you may use it in the same way as the aforementioned modules. Currently, the functions request and get are implemented.

const req = http.request({
  method: 'GET',
  hostname: 'www.thenativeweb.io',
  port: 80,
  path: '/'
}, res => {
  // Use the response stream and its properties, such as statusCode.
});

req.end();

Additionally, you can access the STATUS_CODES property to get a map of status codes to human readable messages.

console.log(http.STATUS_CODES[200]); // => 'OK'

For further details on how to use these functions see their documentation.
