Popular scripting languages such as Python and PHP have extensions that utilize the Curl library- but little documentation exists for the newer Javascript server side languges.
I was wondering --is there a library or hack that can mimic the behavior of Curl in server side Javascript frameworks such as NodeJs and PhantomJs?
If no: how can Curl-like requests be made in NodeJs? Or PhantomJs?
Also -and most importantly:
Is there a "pure javascript" implementation that could work in the runtime of any server-side Javascript framework?
