For client side, what works is to use node-libcurl to do REST / HTTP calls.

here's sample code:

var endpoint = urlString;
var url = require("url");
var endpointUrl = url.parse(endpoint);

var Curl = require( 'node-libcurl' ).Curl;
var curl = new Curl();

curl.setOpt( 'USERNAME', '' );
//curl.setOpt( 'VERBOSE', 1 );
curl.setOpt( 'URL', endpoint );
curl.setOpt( 'HTTPAUTH', Curl.auth.NEGOTIATE );
curl.setOpt( 'NOPROXY', endpointUrl.hostname );

curl.on( 'end', function( statusCode, body, headers ) {

    if (statusCode === 200) {
        console.log(body);
        cb(null, { statusCode, body, headers } ); 
    } else {
        cb(new Error(), { statusCode, body, headers } ); 
    }

    this.close();
});

curl.on( 'error', curl.close.bind( curl ) );
curl.perform();
