Node.js HTTP Module for Browsers (Browserify)

library 1.7.0 ·javascript maintenance
verified Jun 17, 2026

http-browserify provides a browser-compatible implementation of Node.js's native `http` module, specifically designed to be used with Browserify. When bundling browser-side code with Browserify, this package allows `require('http')` calls to function correctly, enabling HTTP requests from the browser environment using a Node.js-like API. The current stable version is 1.7.0. This package is part of the broader Browserify ecosystem, which focuses on bringing Node.js modules to the browser. It implements core HTTP client functionalities such as `http.request`, `http.get`, and methods for managing headers and data streams. Key differentiators include its tight integration with Browserify's module resolution and its effort to mimic the Node.js API, making it easy for developers to port server-side HTTP logic to the client.
