## Http Module
For handling http requests. Not to be confused with the more robust
and functional 'http' module bundled with Node.js.
### http.request() function
The http.request() function will fetch a web address asynchronously (on a
separate thread)and pass the URL's response to a callback function
which will be executed synchronously (on the main thread). In this
way, http.request() can be used to fetch web content without blocking the
main thread of execution.
#### Parameters
* request: The request details either a plain URL e.g. "http://scriptcraft.js/sample.json" or an object with the following properties...
- url: The URL of the request.
- method: Should be one of the standard HTTP methods, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE (defaults to GET).
- params: A Javascript object with name-value pairs. This is for supplying parameters to the server.
* callback: The function to be called when the Web request has completed. This function takes the following parameters...
- responseCode: The numeric response code from the server. If the server did not respond with 200 OK then the response parameter will be undefined.
- response: A string (if the response is of type text) or object containing the HTTP response body.
#### Example
The following example illustrates how to use http.request to make a request to a JSON web service and evaluate its response...
```javascript
var jsResponse;
var http = require('http');
http.request('http://scriptcraftjs.org/sample.json',function(responseCode, responseBody){
jsResponse = JSON.parse( responseBody );
});
```
The following example illustrates a more complex use-case POSTing parameters to a CGI process on a server...
```javascript
var http = require('http');
http.request( {
url: 'http://pixenate.com/pixenate/pxn8.pl',
method: 'POST',
params: {script: '[]'}
},
function( responseCode, responseBody ) {
var jsObj = JSON.parse( responseBody );
});
```
