title: How can I make AJAX requests using the Express framework?
body: <p>I want to send AJAX requests using Express. I am running code that looks like the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var express = require('express');
  var app = express();
  
  app.get('/', function(req, res) {
     // here I would like to make an external
     // request to another server
  });
  
  app.listen(3000);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How would I do this?</p>
