Using axios with node --experimental-network-imports

[mataha]

Describe the issue

I would like to use axios in a simple-purpose script - without a package manager, local node_modules, any of that stuff. Node provides a way to do that through an experimental switch, by importing a module remotely over HTTPS. However, it doesn't work, and I've tried a lot of package distributors - to no avail, every time ending with a different string of errors.

Is there a way?

Example Code

#!/usr/bin/env -S node --experimental-network-imports --no-warnings

import axios from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/axios@0.27.2';

const result = await axios.post(...);

(...)

Expected behavior, if applicable

axios is available to use through a network import, without any errors related to module loading.

Environment

• axios 0.27.2, 1.0.0-alpha
• nodejs 18.3.0
