The interface is\ncareful to never buffer entire requests or responses, so the\nuser is able to stream data.\nHTTP message headers are represented by an object like this:\n\n<pre><code class=\"language-js\">{ 'content-length': '123',\n 'content-type': 'text/plain',\n 'connection': 'keep-alive',\n 'host': 'mysite.com',\n 'accept': '*/*' }\n</code></pre>\nKeys are lowercased. Values are not modified.\nIn order to support the full spectrum of possible HTTP applications, the Node.js\nHTTP API is very low-level. It deals with stream handling and message\nparsing only. It parses a message into headers and body but it does not\nparse the actual headers or the body.\nSee <a href=\"#http_message_headers\"><code>message.headers</code></a> for details on how duplicate headers are handled.\nThe raw headers as they were received are retained in the <code>rawHeaders</code>\nproperty, which is an array of <code>[key, value, key2, value2, ...]</code>. For\nexample, the previous message header object might have a <code>rawHeaders</code>\nlist like the following:\n\n<pre><code class=\"language-js\">[ 'ConTent-Length', '123456',\n 'content-LENGTH', '123',\n 'content-type', 'text/plain',\n 'CONNECTION', 'keep-alive',\n 'Host', 'mysite.com',\n 'accepT', '*/*' ]\n</code></pre>",

 "desc": "An <code>Agent</code> is responsible for managing connection persistence\nand reuse for HTTP clients. It maintains a queue of pending requests\nfor a given host and port, reusing a single socket connection for each\nuntil the queue is empty, at which time the socket is either destroyed\nor put into a pool where it is kept to be used again for requests to the\nsame host and port. Whether it is destroyed or pooled depends on the\n<code>keepAlive</code> <a href=\"#http_new_agent_options\">option</a>.\nPooled connections have TCP Keep-Alive enabled for them, but servers may\nstill close idle connections, in which case they will be removed from the\npool and a new connection will be made when a new HTTP request is made for\nthat host and port. Servers may also refuse to allow multiple requests\nover the same connection, in which case the connection will have to be\nremade for every request and cannot be pooled. The <code>Agent</code> will still make\nthe requests to that server, but each one will occur over a new connection.\nWhen a connection is closed by the client or the server, it is removed\nfrom the pool. Any unused sockets in the pool will be unrefed so as not\nto keep the Node.js process running when there are no outstanding requests.\n(see <a href=\"net.html#net_socket_unref\"><code>socket.unref()</code></a>).\nIt is good practice, to <a href=\"#http_agent_destroy\"><code>destroy()</code></a> an <code>Agent</code> instance when it is no\nlonger in use, because unused sockets consume OS resources.\nSockets are removed from an agent when the socket emits either\na <code>'close'</code> event or an <code>'agentRemove'</code> event. When intending to keep one\nHTTP request open for a long time without keeping it in the agent, something\nlike the following may be done:\n<pre><code class=\"language-js\">http.get(options, (res) => {\n // Do stuff\n}).on('socket', (socket) => {\n socket.emit('agentRemove');\n});\n</code></pre>\nAn agent may also be used for an individual request. By providing\n<code>{agent: false}</code> as an option to the <code>http.get()</code> or <code>http.request()</code>\nfunctions, a one-time use <code>Agent</code> with default options will be used\nfor the client connection.\n<code>agent:false</code>:\n<pre><code class=\"language-js\">http.get({\n hostname: 'localhost',\n port: 80,\n path: '/',\n agent: false // Create a new agent just for this one request\n}, (res) => {\n // Do stuff with response\n});\n</code></pre>",

If it is a <a href=\"url.html#url_the_whatwg_url_api\"><code>URL</code></a>\nobject, it will be automatically converted to an ordinary <code>options</code> object.\nIf both <code>url</code> and <code>options</code> are specified, the objects are merged, with the\n<code>options</code> properties taking precedence.\nThe optional <code>callback</code> parameter will be added as a one-time listener for\nthe <a href=\"#http_event_response\"><code>'response'</code></a> event.\n<code>http.request()</code> returns an instance of the <a href=\"#http_class_http_clientrequest\"><code>http.ClientRequest</code></a>\nclass. The <code>ClientRequest</code> instance is a writable stream. If one needs to\nupload a file with a POST request, then write to the <code>ClientRequest</code> object.\n<pre><code class=\"language-js\">const postData = querystring.stringify({\n 'msg': 'Hello World!'\n});\n\nconst options = {\n hostname: 'www.google.com',\n port: 80,\n path: '/upload',\n method: 'POST',\n headers: {\n 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',\n 'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(postData)\n }\n};\n\nconst req = http.request(options, (res) => {\n console.log(`STATUS: ${res.statusCode}`);\n console.log(`HEADERS: ${JSON.stringify(res.headers)}`);\n res.setEncoding('utf8');\n res.on('data', (chunk) => {\n console.log(`BODY: ${chunk}`);\n });\n res.on('end', () => {\n console.log('No more data in response.');\n });\n});\n\nreq.on('error', (e) => {\n console.error(`problem with request: ${e.message}`);\n});\n\n// Write data to request body\nreq.write(postData);\nreq.end();\n</code></pre>\nIn the example <code>req.end()</code> was called. With <code>http.request()</code> one\nmust always call <code>req.end()</code> to signify the end of the request -\neven if there is no data being written to the request body.\nIf any error is encountered during the request (be that with DNS resolution,\nTCP level errors, or actual HTTP parse errors) an <code>'error'</code> event is emitted\non the returned request object. As with all <code>'error'</code> events, if no listeners\nare registered the error will be thrown.\nThere are a few special headers that should be noted.\n<ul>\n<li>\nSending a 'Connection: keep-alive' will notify Node.js that the connection to\nthe server should be persisted until the next request.\n</li>\n<li>\nSending a 'Content-Length' header will disable the default chunked encoding.\n</li>\n<li>\nSending an 'Expect' header will immediately send the request headers.\nUsually, when sending 'Expect: 100-continue', both a timeout and a listener\nfor the <code>'continue'</code> event should be set. See RFC 2616 Section 8.2.3 for more\ninformation.\n</li>\n<li>\nSending an Authorization header will override using the <code>auth</code> option\nto compute basic authentication.\n</li>\n</ul>\nExample using a <a href=\"url.html#url_the_whatwg_url_api\"><code>URL</code></a> as <code>options</code>:\n<pre><code class=\"language-js\">const options = new URL('http://abc:xyz@example.com');\n\nconst req = http.request(options, (res) => {\n // ...\n});\n</code></pre>\nIn a successful request, the following events will be emitted in the following\norder:\n<ul>\n<li><code>'socket'</code></li>\n<li><code>'response'</code>\n<ul>\n<li><code>'data'</code> any number of times, on the <code>res</code> object\n(<code>'data'</code> will not be emitted at all if the response body is empty, for\ninstance, in most redirects)</li>\n<li><code>'end'</code> on the <code>res</code> object</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li><code>'close'</code></li>\n</ul>\nIn the case of a connection error, the following events will be emitted:\n<ul>\n<li><code>'socket'</code></li>\n<li><code>'error'</code></li>\n<li><code>'close'</code></li>\n</ul>\nIf <code>req.abort()</code> is called before the connection succeeds, the following events\nwill be emitted in the following order:\n<ul>\n<li><code>'socket'</code></li>\n<li>(<code>req.abort()</code> called here)</li>\n<li><code>'abort'</code></li>\n<li><code>'error'</code> with an error with message <code>'Error: socket hang up'</code> and code\n<code>'ECONNRESET'</code></li>\n<li><code>'close'</code></li>\n</ul>\nIf <code>req.abort()</code> is called after the response is received, the following events\nwill be emitted in the following order:\n<ul>\n<li><code>'socket'</code></li>\n<li><code>'response'</code>\n<ul>\n<li><code>'data'</code> any number of times, on the <code>res</code> object</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>(<code>req.abort()</code> called here)</li>\n<li><code>'abort'</code></li>\n<li><code>'aborted'</code> on the <code>res</code> object</li>\n<li><code>'close'</code></li>\n<li><code>'end'</code> on the <code>res</code> object</li>\n<li><code>'close'</code> on the <code>res</code> object</li>\n</ul>\nSetting the <code>timeout</code> option or using the <code>setTimeout()</code> function will\nnot abort the request or do anything besides add a <code>'timeout'</code> event."
