Following code sample fails:

var wifi = require("EspruinoWiFi");
var http = require('http');

wifi.connect('yourAP', { password: 'yourPass' }, function(err) {
  if (err) { throw err; }
  
  wifi.getIP(function (err, data) {
    if (err) { throw err; }

    console.log(data);
    
    var options = {
      host: 'espruino.com',
      port: 80,
      path: '/',
      method: 'HEAD',
    };

    console.log('about to http request');
    http.request(options, function(res) {
      console.log('request cb');
      res.on('data', function(data) {
        console.log("HTTP> "+data);
      });

      res.on('close', function(data) {
        console.log(data);
        console.log("Connection closed");
      });

      res.on('error', function(err) {
        console.log(err);
      });
    }).end();
  });
});

Produces only:

about to http request
request cb
false
Connection closed

Change it to a GET request and you get:

about to http request
request cb
HTTP> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
>

Moved Permanently

The docu
HTTP> ment has moved here.

s>Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) Server at espruino.com Port 80
tml>
false
Connection closed

but I want the HTTP headers not the content.
