Able to demonstrate how to create an HTTP request

Question 1

Example HTTP Request

Answer 1

.

Question 2

Example HTTP Request POST

Answer 2

• The method parameter specifies the HTTP method to be used for the request.
• The headers parameter specifies additional information about the request, in this case, it’s specifying the content type of the request body as JSON using the ‘Content-Type’ key.
• The body parameter contains the actual data being sent in the request, which is a JavaScript object ‘data’ that is converted to a JSON string using the JSON.stringify() method.
  
  • When sending data in the body of an HTTP request, the data must be sent as a string.
  • The JSON.stringify() method is used to convert the data to a JSON string so that it can be sent in the body of the HTTP request.
• Accept: used to indicate the expected response format (e.g. JSON, XML, HTML, etc.)
• Authorization: used to provide authentication credentials for the request
• User-Agent: used to identify the client making the request (e.g. the web browser or device being used)
• Referer: used to indicate the URL of the page that linked to the current page (typically used for tracking and analytics)
• Cache-Control: used to specify caching behavior for the response

Question 3

promise

Answer 3

• A Promise is an object in JavaScript.
• When you make an asynchronous operation such as an HTTP request using fetch(), it returns a Promise.
• This Promise is initially in a “pending” state, meaning the operation has started but the result is not yet available.
• Then the operation completes, the Promise either
  
  • resolves with a value (e.g. the response from the server), or
  • it rejects with an error.

Question 4

asynchronous

Answer 4

asynchronous means the operation can be started and running in the background, without blocking the execution of the rest of the code.
