micro-req v1.0.1
deprecated micro-req 
Deprecated, use xhr-request instead. Same goal, even smaller API!
Tiny (bytes and API) http interface for Node and the browser
At 3.5k minified and gzipped, you get Node-compatible code without the ~50kb most Node HTTP libraries weigh when browserified. The byte savings mostly comes from abandoning support for streaming HTTP, Buffers, and other features.
