This module for the Appcelerator Titanium Alloy MVC framework is built on the top of the Titanium HTTPClient. It provides simple abstractions and methods to common HTTP operations.

The module defines some shortcut to quickly set headers or data for a request. Also, it will automatically parse the response and return a JSON object if the corresponding header is application/json.

Download this repository and install it

• In your application's tiapp.xml file, add the module to the modules section:

<modules>
    <module platform="commonjs">ts.httprequest</module>
</modules>

• Copy the ts.httprequest-commonjs-x.x.x.zip bundle into your root app directory.

Or use your favorite package manager

• gitTio: gittio install ts.httprequest

var HTTPRequest = require('ts.httprequest');

var request = new HTTPRequest({
    method: 'POST',
    url: 'http://www.url.com'
    data: {
        key: 'value'
    },
    headers: {
        key: 'value'
    },
    progress: progressHandler
}).then(handleSuccess).catch(handleError);
