[Hidden-tech] node.js question

[Lynn Scharf]

...figure it out.  For some mysterious reason, just asking the question
sometimes makes solving something easier.
In case this is useful to anyone, here was my solution.  I used a few
outside libraries to make things easier.
I'll also post to stackoverflow, for more public usefulness.

var http = require("http");
var urllib = require('urllib');
var Promise = require("bluebird");

var header = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Content-Length': 0
  }
var option = {
    'dataType': 'json'
}
urllib.request('my.url.com', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: header,
  options: option
}, function (err, data, res) {
      var whatIWasLookingFor = JSON.parse(data));
});
