Node.js Interview Question:

Tell me how to make an HTTP POST request in node.js?

This gets a lot easier if you use the request library.

var request = require('request');

request.post(
'http://www.abcsite.com/formpage',
{ form: { key: 'value' } },
function (error, response, body) {
if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
console.log(body)
}
}
);

Aside from providing a nice syntax it makes json requests easy, handles oauth signing (for twitter, etc.), can do multi-part forms (e.g. for uploading files) and streaming.
