HTTP Request Handling
This feature allows you to handle HTTP requests using the NodeHttpHandler class. The code sample demonstrates how to create an HTTP request and handle the response.

const { HttpRequest } = require('@smithy/protocol-http');
const handler = new NodeHttpHandler();
const request = new HttpRequest({
hostname: 'example.com',
path: '/path',
method: 'GET'
});
handler.handle(request).then(response => {
console.log(response.statusCode);
console.log(response.body);
}).catch(error => {
console.error(error);
});
Custom HTTP Options
This feature allows you to customize HTTP options such as connection timeout and socket timeout. The code sample demonstrates how to set these options when creating a NodeHttpHandler instance.
const { NodeHttpHandler } = require('@smithy/node-http-handler');
const { HttpRequest } = require('@smithy/protocol-http');
const handler = new NodeHttpHandler({
connectionTimeout: 3000,
socketTimeout: 3000
});
const request = new HttpRequest({
hostname: 'example.com',
path: '/path',
method: 'GET'
});
handler.handle(request).then(response => {
console.log(response.statusCode);
console.log(response.body);
}).catch(error => {
console.error(error);
});
