#Npm http client upgrade

Same interface as request() with the method always set to GET.Differences are per protocol as described in relevant request() and protocol.Defaults to true.Īll http protocols - get(options) | get(url ) setHost : Specifies whether or not to automatically add the Host header.This will set the timeout before the socket is connected. timeout : A number specifying the socket timeout in milliseconds.Any Duplex stream is a valid return value. See agent.createConnection() for more details. This can be used to avoid creating a custom Agent class just to override the default createConnection function. createConnection A function that produces a socket/stream to use for the request when the agent option is not used.false: causes a new Agent with default values to be used.Agent object: explicitly use the passed in Agent.undefined (default): use http.globalAgent for this host and port.'user:password' to compute an Authorization header. headers An object containing request headers.Currently, only spaces are rejected but that may change in the future. An exception is thrown when the request path contains illegal characters. method A string specifying the HTTP request method.socketPath Unix Domain Socket (use one of host:port or socketPath).localAddress Local interface to bind for network connections.Valid values are 4 or 6.When unspecified, both IP v4 and v6 will be used. family IP address family to use when resolving host and hostname.To support url.parse(), hostname is preferred over host. host A domain name or IP address of the server to issue the request to.end ( ) Http/1.1 - request(options) | request(url ) All Http2 features are available except push.Ĭonst = require ( 'http2-client' ) const httpRequestManager = new HttpRequestManager ( ) //Make a request const req = httpRequestManager.Requests to the same 'origin' will use the same tcp connection (per request manager) - automatically.Connection pool is managed by Http2 agent.Connection pool is managed as usual with an http agent.Transparently supports all http protocol. If the Node.js version you are using is not supporting http2 http2-client will automatically fallback to http. Meaning you don't need to know which protocol the destination supports before making the request http2-client will chose the one that works. With http2-client it should be very straight forward.

#Npm http client upgrade

The reason is that many NPM modules cannot upgrade to use http2.0 as these are coupled into http1.1 interface. Http2-client was created to enable http2 / http1.1 requests with the same interface as http1.1. Http2 in Node.JS works entirely differently, while in browsers the experience is the same. Drop-in replacement for Nodes http and https that transparently make http request to both http1 / http2 server.Ĭurrently, it's the only http2/https compatible API for clients.
