Issue HTTP/HTTPS requests using Chromium's native networking libraryProcess: Main, UtilityThe net module is a client-side API for issuing HTTP(S)
requests. It is similar to the HTTP and HTTPS modules of Node.js but uses Chromium's native networking library instead of
the Node.js implementation, offering better support for web proxies. It also supports checking network status.The following is a non-exhaustive list
of why you may consider using the net module instead of the native Node.js modules:* Automatic management of system proxy
configuration, support of the wpad protocol and proxy pac configuration files.* Automatic tunneling of HTTPS requests.* Support for authenticating proxies
using basic, digest, NTLM, Kerberos or negotiate authentication schemes.* Support for traffic monitoring proxies: Fiddler-like proxies used for access control
and monitoring.The API components (including classes, methods, properties and event names) are similar to those used in Node.js.Example usage:const {
app } = require('electron')app.whenReady().then(() => { const { net } = require('electron') const request = net.request('https://github.com') request.on('response',
(response) => { console.log(STATUS: \({response.statusCode}) console.log(HEADERS:\){JSON.stringify(response.headers)}) response.on('data', (chunk) => {
console.log(BODY: ${chunk}) }) response.on('end', () => {
console.log('No more data in response.') }) }) request.end()})The net API can be
used only after the application emits the ready event. Trying to use the module before the ready event will throw
an error.
