http-browserify
Advanced tools
The http module from node.js, but for browsers.
When you require('http')
in
browserify,
this module will be loaded.
var http = require('http');
http.get({ path : '/beep' }, function (res) {
var div = document.getElementById('result');
div.innerHTML += 'GET /beep<br>';
res.on('data', function (buf) {
div.innerHTML += buf;
});
res.on('end', function () {
div.innerHTML += '<br>__END__';
});
});
var http = require('http');
options

The callback will be called with the response object.
A shortcut for

Multipart streaming responses are buffered in all versions of Internet Explorer
and are somewhat buffered in Opera. In all the other browsers you get a nice
unbuffered stream of "data"
events when you send down a content-type of
multipart/octet-stream
or similar.
You can do:
var bundle = browserify({
require : { http : 'http-browserify' }
});
in order to map "http-browserify" over require('http')
in your browserified
source.
