#requestp requestp is a promise based wrapper around XMLHttpRequest. You still get all the power of XMLHttpRequest, but you pass the arguments as a object and use .then() instead of event handlers, which leads to cleaner code.
##Examples Requesting a web page:
requestp({method: "GET", url: "http://example.org/"}).then(function(data){ console.log(data); });
Requesting and parsing a JSON file:
requestp({method: "GET", url: "http://example.org/example.json"}).then(JSON.parse).then(
function(data) {console.log(data.key); }
);
##Reference You pass arguments to the requestp function through a object with the following attributes:
method: Required. The HTTP method.
url: Required. The url you are requesting.
headers: Optional. An array of header objects that are used to override the headers of the request. Each header object takes the form
{
header: "The header to override",
value: "The new value for the header"
}
mimetype: Optional. Used to override the mime type of the request.
user and password: Optional. Used to authenticate the request.
body: Optional. The body of a POST request.
