httprequire: A way to include remote node.js modules

httprequire is a module that allows you to require other node.js modules that are accessible through http. It depends of httpsync, so unfortunately https is not supported by default.

Installing

npm install httprequire

Using

Just write this line on the top of your code:

require('httprequire');

After that you can require remote modules using httprequire():

var
    async = httprequire('http://pz.org.pt/~david/projects/node/tmp/async.js');

Dependences

This module depends of httpsync for performic syncronous http requests and completelly relies on node.js global variable and module structure. If, on the future, node.js change the structure of these 2 variables, can eventually break httprequire.
