cURL equivalent in Node.js?

Question

I'm looking to use information from an HTTP request using Node.js (i.e. call a remote web service and echo the response to the client).

In PHP I would have used cURL to do this. What is the best practice in Node?

See the documentation for the HTTP module for a full example:
