Somebody knows what would be the difference between https*.request* and https*.get??? @battk?*
s
I don't have the docs in front of me, but typically 
request
would let you specify the HTTP verb, where as 
get
means HTTP GET
a
Well yes, I can see that in the docs, but technically what would be the difference? we already had https.get and https.post...

request
would be for using methods such as HEAD, CONNECT, OPTIONS, TRACE, or PATCH https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods
You could also use it to simplify something like this
Copy code
if (method === https.Method.GET)
  https.get({...});
else if (method === <http://https.Method.POST|https.Method.POST>)
  <http://https.post|https.post>({...});
else if (method === https.Method.DELETE)
  https.delete({...});
to something like
Copy code
https.request({method, ...});
b
no huge difference, request is more generic get is implemented as
Copy code
get: function get(config, headers, httpClient)
                       {
                           checkConfig(config);
                           if (!utilityFunctions.isObject(config))
                           {
                               var url = config;
                               config = {url: url, headers: headers || null};
                           }
                           config.method = this.Method.GET;
                           return this.request(config, httpClient);
                       }
the get is just a convenience method for a request
