# 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.
