Synchronous and asynchronous XMLHttpRequest for Node

unxhr is a tiny wrapper of the built-in http client to emulate the browser XMLHttpRequest object.

Important: This library is a fork of XMLHttpRequest. It was created to be compliant with XMLHttpRequest Level 2.

• Dependency free
• Asynchronous and synchronous requests
• GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests
• Binary data using JavaScript typed arrays
• Follows redirects
• Handles file:https:// protocol

Here's how to include the module in your project and use as the browser-based XHR object.

const XMLHttpRequest = require('unxhr').XMLHttpRequest
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()

• Local file access may have unexpected results for non-UTF8 files
• Synchronous requests don't set headers properly
• Synchronous requests freeze node while waiting for response (But that's what you want, right? Stick with async!).
• Some events are missing, such as abort
• Cookies aren't persisted between requests
• Missing XML support
