I couldn't find this code anywhere on the internets yesterday, posting here for my own convenience.
```js
var options = {
host: 'api.twitter.com',
port: 80,
path: '/path',
method: 'GET',
encoding: 'utf8'
};
http.get({ host: options.host, path: options.path }, function(res2){
var data = [];
res2.on('data', function(chunk) {
data.push(chunk);
});
res2.on('end', function() { // wait for the request to finish
res.json(data.join(''));
})
});
