Promise-based HTTP/HTTPS Client

verified May 27, 2026

http-request-plus is a lightweight, promise-oriented, and stream-capable wrapper around Node.js's built-in `http` and `https` modules. Designed for Node.js environments (requiring `node >=14.18`), it offers a minimalistic API for making network requests, handling redirects, and processing responses as buffers, text, or JSON. The current stable version is 1.0.3, with updates appearing infrequently, suggesting a maintenance-focused cadence rather than active feature development. Its key differentiator is being a thin abstraction directly over native Node.js HTTP capabilities, providing fine-grained control and stream processing without the overhead of more feature-rich alternatives like `axios` or `node-fetch`, while still offering promise-based convenience.
