OK, node-request is really easy to use, but I wanted only the simplest function to get options object to pass to http(s)Client from url.
git clone git://github.com/shinout/u2r.git
OR
npm install u2r
var u2r = require('u2r');
var options = u2r('nodejs.org', {}); // second argument is optional.
var protocol = require(options.protocol);
var req = require('http').request(option, function(res) {
res.on('data', function(d) {
// do something
});
});
req.end();
-
protocol : http or https
-
body : if method != "GET", querystring of options.data is set. options.data is passed by u2r(url, here)
-
all other options are compatible with the one http(s)Clients specify.
