http.request, https.request and get now accept options the compiler
cannot see as an object literal: a RequestOptions variable, a literal
that spreads one, or a literal that sets socketPath. The runtime reads
the record in the ClientRequest constructor's order with Node's errors;
documented options it does not implement throw the runtime fence when
they carry a value. https adds rejectUnauthorized, ca and servername.
socketPath dials a Unix domain socket in the net unit; the agent keys
its sockets by the path as Node's getName does, and the Host header
defaults to localhost. server.listen(path[, cb]) binds a Unix socket and
removes the socket file when the server closes; a numeric string is
still a port. Errors name the path ("connect ENOENT /path", "listen
EADDRINUSE: address already in use /path"). Windows reports ENOTSUP.
A TypeScript object literal with no contextual type that spreads a
checked-dynamic value maps to the checked dynamic, so
`const options = { ...location, path, timeout }` compiles.
A socket's 'lookup' event reaches its listeners with (err, address,
family, host) for each address a host name resolves to, or once with
the lookup error, before 'connect'. Only programs that listen for
'lookup' install the lookup records; elsewhere the hook sites are a NULL
check.
server.close((err) => ...) runs the callback with undefined at 'close',
or with ERR_SERVER_NOT_RUNNING when the server was not listening; a
server that never listened now emits 'close'. IncomingMessage 'data'
listeners may take string chunks after setEncoding, and res.end()
accepts a string-or-undefined chunk.
fetch's BodyInit and HeadersInit unions, as RequestInit-derived option
types spell them under @types/node, map to the checked dynamic, and a
URLSearchParams body is sent form-encoded, as by Node.
