------------------------------------

Hi Henrique/Phillip,
In my corporate project, I am at a situation where a python thrift server is available and it serves a .js client. I have to create a node client that makes use of the python server too. But the python server is a HttpServer, designed so as to server the http js client. I haven't been able to make a create a httpClient in node to communicate with the Http python server. 

I wanted to ask whether this patch provides support to create a httpClient or had it progressed to create only a HttpServer in node till now?
If it does, can you provide me a short example on how to exploit it?
I have been battling since a week to make it work. Your help will be very significant.

Thanks,
Vijay Chav

> I have written a http server for node js, and am in progress on a http client for node js. I will contribute a patch file when I am done, however I am having a few problems figuring out how things need to be implemented. I am trying to follow the ruby implementation as an example, but am unsure how to make sure I implement things correct. I assume the link in the README under requirements was supposed to explain these things, but currently http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/ThriftRequirements leads to gibberish.
> Questions I have are:
> Do I need to implement a JSON protocol?
> On an http request, do I need to ensure the request is a POST? Check for headers? What is required?
> Thanks
