Difference between http.get and http.request

Yes, please do update the docs :) The whole options object could use some documentation improvements :)

Just noticed that for http.request it says

options An object containing host,port,path,method,headers fields

And for url.parse it says

An object containing options for http.request or http.get. Contains method, host, path, pathname, search, port and query

So url.parse returns a bunch of options (pathname, search, query) not mentioned as supported in http.request (or http.get)

Could you please try to clarify that?
