Shred HTTP library for Node.js and Browsers

[Nicolas LaCasse]

Shred v0.7 has been released.

Shred is an HTTP client library that supports gzip, https, redirects,
and proxies.
As of this version, Shred can run in node.js and in modern browsers!

This means Shred can be used in both client-side and server-side
applications, and it is particulary suited for code that needs to run
in both environmants.

Hat tip to Substack and his awesome Browserify tool for making this
posible!

Check out the official announcement here:

Or head to Github for the code:

Or get the node.js module:
npm install shred

I've been working on a similar project abstract-http-request (AHR2) (node and browser).

The thing I'd like to do is make it like connect, but for a client.

I haven't been able to decide on the api.

Anyway, if we could build something more like connect then zombie, ahr, shred, etc could all be done away with in favor of that.

We (the community) keep rewriting this same idea over and over because we each have different needs so we each write our own.

If we had something like connect, we'd be writing modules instead of wasting our time reinventing the wheel over and over and over and over and over and over.

I'm coolaj86 on skype. Add me and let's talk about how we could design a connect-like api. I think with our forces combined we could end the madness.

It's like you keep reinventing the same sentence over and over and over..... ;)

How can I set cookie for GET request?

[Steven Campbell]

This looks nice.  Can you contrast it with the "request" module that I am currently using on the server-side?  (Obviously the browser-side thing is a distinguishing feature, so besides that)...

[Mikeal Rogers]

Actually, @substack figured out a way to get request in the browser using browserify. It will eventually get merged in to request proper.
