Simplified HTTP/HTTPS requests

A nicer interface to the built-in http module.

It also supports following redirects and automagically handling gzip/deflate.

Use request if you need more.

Install

$ npm install --save got

var got = require('got');

got('http://todomvc.com', function (err, data) {

	//=> <!doctype html> ...
});

It's a GET request by default, but can be changed in options.
