title: NodeJS express make get request
body: <p>Is there a possibility to use express as a client-module, to make http-requests to another server?</p>
  
  <p>At the moment I make requests this way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var req = http.get({host, path}, function(res) {
      res.on('data', function(chunk) {
          ....
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is too bulky. Express as server-module is very comfortable to use. I guess there's a simple way to make a get-request by using express. I don't like the express api, and I didn't find anything there. </p>
