# `node:http`

## Import

```js
import http from "nstdlib/http";
```

> [!NOTE]
> Only the API surface is available. Client requests work wherever the host backs the socket bridge. `native/` does. The parser is this tree's own and needs no host. `http.Server` needs `listen()`, which no host backs yet.

## Runtime support

| Where it runs | Status | Export coverage | Details |
| ------------- | ------ | --------------- | ------- |
| **nstd** | ✅ works | – | Native tests match Node.js: http-parser, fetch. |
| **Browser** | ⚠️ some support | 95% of Node.js | It imports with the small process shim. 20/21 Node.js exports are available. No module-specific behavior test ran. |
| **Node.js (host)** | ⚠️ some support | 95% of Node.js | 20/21 exports. |

- ⚠️ Available through only some import styles.
