What is xmlhttprequest-ssl?

The xmlhttprequest-ssl package is a Node.js module that provides an implementation of the XMLHttpRequest object, which is primarily used in web browsers for making HTTP requests. This package is designed to work with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) for secure data transmission and is particularly useful for server-side applications that need to make HTTP requests in a way that's similar to client-side JavaScript code.

What are xmlhttprequest-ssl's main functionalities?

Making GET Requests

This feature allows you to make GET requests to retrieve data from a specified URL. The code sample demonstrates how to initiate a GET request, handle the response, and print the result or error.

const XMLHttpRequest = require('xmlhttprequest-ssl').XMLHttpRequest;
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', 'https://api.example.com/data', true);
xhr.onload = function () {
  if (xhr.status >= 200 && xhr.status < 300) {
    console.log('Response:', xhr.responseText);
  } else {
    console.error('Request failed');
  }
};
xhr.send();

Sending POST Requests

This feature enables sending POST requests to submit data to a server. The code sample shows how to set up a POST request, including setting the request header and sending data in JSON format.

const XMLHttpRequest = require('xmlhttprequest-ssl').XMLHttpRequest;
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('POST', 'https://api.example.com/submit', true);
xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json;charset=UTF-8');
xhr.onload = function () {
  if (xhr.status >= 200 && xhr.status < 300) {
    console.log('Success:', xhr.responseText);
  } else {
    console.error('Request failed');
  }
};
xhr.send(JSON.stringify({ key: 'value' }));
