Sometimes it's useful not to use third party code if the implementation is simple enough.
const https = require('https');
const http = require('http');
const { URL } = require('url');
function request(url) {
const parsedUrl = new URL(url);
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const _protocol = parsedUrl.protocol === 'http' ? http : https;
_protocol.request({
host: parsedUrl.host,
path: parsedUrl.pathname
}, function(response) {
let str = '';
response.on('data', function (chunk) {
str += chunk;
});
response.on('end', function () {
resolve(str);
});
}).end();
});
}
request('www.someurl.com/foo-bar-test').then(data => {
console.log(data);
});
