HTTP Requests
The http request functionality exists to allow for simple usage of the node http and https modules. This functionality exists, in lieu of alternatives, as a means to provide the smallest footprint possible. The logic itself is simple:
request(opts: http.RequestOptions & { url: string }, data?: any): Promise<string>;
request(opts: http.RequestOptions & { url: string, pipeTo: any }, data?: any): Promise<http.IncomingMessage>;
requestJSON<T, U>(opts: http.RequestOptions & { url: string }, data?: U): Promise<T>;
