Usage

const goodRequest = require('good-request');
// Functions provided:
goodRequest.basicPost         (urlString, ct,  reqText,               callback)
goodRequest.retryingPost      (urlString, ct,  reqText,    nRetries,  callback)
goodRequest.retryingJsonPost  (urlString,      reqObject,  nRetries,  callback)

callback provides an object with some of the following properties:

res.received:       true | undefined
res.statusCode:     response status integer | undefined
res.text:           response body string | undefined
res.error:          error object | undefined
res.errorsRetried:  array of error objects | undefined
res.object:         response body jso | undefined

Better to just peek at the code.
