cURL equivalent in Node.js?

Question

I\'m looking to use information from an HTTP request using Node.js (i.e. call a remote web service and echo the response to the client).

In PHP I would have used cUR

You can use request npm module . Super simple to use. Request is designed to be the simplest way possible to make http calls. It supports HTTPS and follows redirects by default.

var request = require('request');
request('http://www.google.com', function (error, response, body) {
  console.log('error:', error); // Print the error if one occurred
  console.log('statusCode:', response && response.statusCode); // Print the response status code if a response was received
  console.log('body:', body); // Print the HTML for the Google homepage.
});
