| # node-XMLHttpRequest # | |
| Fork of [node-XMLHttpRequest](https://github.com/driverdan/node-XMLHttpRequest) by [driverdan](http://driverdan.com). Forked and published to npm because a [pull request](https://github.com/rase-/node-XMLHttpRequest/commit/a6b6f296e0a8278165c2d0270d9840b54d5eeadd) is not being created and merged. Changes made by [rase-](https://github.com/rase-/node-XMLHttpRequest/tree/add/ssl-support) are needed for [engine.io-client](https://github.com/Automattic/engine.io-client). | |
| ## Usage ## | |
| Here's how to include the module in your project and use as the browser-based | |
| XHR object. | |
| var XMLHttpRequest = require("xmlhttprequest-ssl").XMLHttpRequest; | |
| var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); | |
| Note: use the lowercase string "xmlhttprequest-ssl" in your require(). On | |
| case-sensitive systems (eg Linux) using uppercase letters won't work. | |

| ## Versions ## | |
| Prior to 1.4.0 version numbers were arbitrary. From 1.4.0 on they conform to | |
| the standard major.minor.bugfix. 1.x shouldn't necessarily be considered | |
| stable just because it's above 0.x. | |
| Since the XMLHttpRequest API is stable this library's API is stable as | |
| well. Major version numbers indicate significant core code changes. | |
| Minor versions indicate minor core code changes or better conformity to | |
| the W3C spec. | |

| ## Known Issues / Missing Features ## | |
| For a list of open issues or to report your own visit the [github issues | |
| page](https://github.com/driverdan/node-XMLHttpRequest/issues). | |
| * Local file access may have unexpected results for non-UTF8 files | |
| * Synchronous requests don't set headers properly | |
| * Synchronous requests freeze node while waiting for response (But that's what you want, right? Stick with async!). | |
| * Some events are missing, such as abort | |
| * getRequestHeader is case-sensitive | |
| * Cookies aren't persisted between requests | |
| * Missing XML support | |
| * Missing basic auth | |
