Curriculum: Revise HTTP request practice lesson

[vegetabill]

In the /api/http-request-practice.md lesson we added too many options (6), including ones that are much less important. Let's simplify.

Remove these sections

• XMLHttpRequest
• http.request in Node.js
• fetch in node

That means we're keeping curl, fetch (browser), and Postman.

Add this link to the fetch section

Add it as an additional practice option.

Test out the content

Go through the lesson and time yourself. If your time is different than the estimate at the top, please update it.

1. Have a brief explanation and an example of GET request such as the GET request is only done by the user or client-side to request information i.e. going to www.google.com and the server-side sends the response by taking you to google's website.
2. explain the syntax for sending a request, for example, request-method-name: HTTP protocol defines a set of request methods, e.g., GET, POST, HEAD, and OPTIONS. The client can use one of these methods to send a request to the server.
   3.Have a guided practice of completing a request, for example, I have provided a link. https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/a-practical-es6-guide-on-how-to-perform-http-requests-using-the-fetch-api-594c3d91a547/

@Kundan28 Do we have to keep window.fetch - Time API section or not?

[kichloo]

And the sections removed have guided practice and independent practice questions associated with them, so the whole section of the question has to be removed?

@Kundan28 Do we have to keep window.fetch - Time API section or not?

No we don't have to keep it.

[Kundan28]

And the sections removed have guided practice and independent practice questions associated with them, so the whole section of the question has to be removed?

Yeah, everything related to the removed stuff should be removed.

[kichloo]
