* `url` {string | URL}
* `options` {Object}
* `protocol` {string} Protocol to use. **Default:** `'http:'`.
* `agent` {http.Agent | boolean} Controls [`Agent`][] behavior. Possible
values:
* `undefined` (default): use [`http.globalAgent`][] for this host and port.
* `Agent` object: explicitly use the passed in `Agent`.
* `false`: causes a new `Agent` with default values to be used.
* `auth` {string} Basic authentication i.e. `'user:password'` to compute an
Authorization header.
* `createConnection` {Function} A function that produces a socket/stream to
use for the request when the `agent` option is not used. This can be used to
avoid creating a custom `Agent` class just to override the default
`createConnection` function. See [`agent.createConnection()`][] for more
details. Any [`Duplex`][] stream is a valid return value.
* `defaultPort` {number} Default port for the protocol. **Default:**
`agent.defaultPort` if an `Agent` is used, else `undefined`.
* `family` {number} IP address family to use when resolving `host` or
`hostname`. Valid values are `4` or `6`. When unspecified, both IP v4 and
v6 will be used.
* `headers` {Object} An object containing request headers.
* `host` {string} A domain name or IP address of the server to issue the
request to. **Default:** `'localhost'`.
* `hostname` {string} Alias for `host`. To support [`url.parse()`][],
`hostname` will be used if both `host` and `hostname` are specified.
* `family` {number} IP address family to use when resolving `host` or
`hostname`. Valid values are `4` or `6`. When unspecified, both IP v4 and
v6 will be used.
* `port` {number} Port of remote server. **Default:** `80`.
* `localAddress` {string} Local interface to bind for network connections.
* `socketPath` {string} Unix Domain Socket (cannot be used if one of `host`
or `port` is specified, those specify a TCP Socket).
* `method` {string} A string specifying the HTTP request method. **Default:**
`'GET'`.
* `path` {string} Request path. Should include query string if any.
E.G. `'/index.html?page=12'`. An exception is thrown when the request path
contains illegal characters. Currently, only spaces are rejected but that
may change in the future. **Default:** `'/'`.
* `headers` {Object} An object containing request headers.
* `auth` {string} Basic authentication i.e. `'user:password'` to compute an
Authorization header.
* `agent` {http.Agent | boolean} Controls [`Agent`][] behavior. Possible
values:
* `undefined` (default): use [`http.globalAgent`][] for this host and port.
* `Agent` object: explicitly use the passed in `Agent`.
* `false`: causes a new `Agent` with default values to be used.
* `createConnection` {Function} A function that produces a socket/stream to
use for the request when the `agent` option is not used. This can be used to
avoid creating a custom `Agent` class just to override the default
`createConnection` function. See [`agent.createConnection()`][] for more
details. Any [`Duplex`][] stream is a valid return value.
* `timeout` {number}: A number specifying the socket timeout in milliseconds.
This will set the timeout before the socket is connected.
* `port` {number} Port of remote server. **Default:** `defaultPort` if set,
else `80`.
* `protocol` {string} Protocol to use. **Default:** `'http:'`.
* `setHost` {boolean}: Specifies whether or not to automatically add the
`Host` header. Defaults to `true`.
* `socketPath` {string} Unix Domain Socket (cannot be used if one of `host`
or `port` is specified, those specify a TCP Socket).
* `timeout` {number}: A number specifying the socket timeout in milliseconds.
This will set the timeout before the socket is connected.
* `callback` {Function}
* Returns: {http.ClientRequest}
