http-node
This module is a standalone package of http from Node.js v6.3.0.
Unlike http-browserify, this is not a shim but the original code of Node.js, so it requires the net
module.
This is useful for having the Node.js core APIs on JavaScript platforms other than Node.js, where TCP sockets are available (which can be wrapped in a net
module).
One example of this is Chrome Apps with chrome-net.
install / usage with browserify
npm install http-node
To use it with browserify, you have to use the JS API of browserify; the command line API does not support changing builtins.
Example:
const browserify = require('browserify');
const builtins = require('browserify/lib/builtins.js');
var customBuiltins = Object.assign({}, builtins);
customBuiltins.http = require.resolve('http-node');
var b = browserify({builtins: customBuiltins});
