How to make external HTTP requests with Node.js [closed]

Question

The question is fairly simple. I want to use a Node.js server as a proxy to log, authenticate, and forward HTTP queries to a backend HTTP server (PUT, GET, and DELETE requests).

What library should I use for that purpose? I'm afraid I can't find one.

NodeJS supports http.request as a standard module: http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.4.11/api/http.html#http.request

var http = require('http');  var options = {   host: 'example.com',   port: 80,   path: '/foo.html' };  http.get(options, function(resp){   resp.on('data', function(chunk){     //do something with chunk   }); }).on("error", function(e){   console.log("Got error: " + e.message); });
