To make an HTTP request in JavaScript, you can use the XMLHttpRequest object or the newer fetch API. Here’s an example using XMLHttpRequest:

function makeRequest(method, url) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open(method, url);
xhr.onload = function () {
if (this.status >= 200 && this.status < 300) {
resolve(xhr.response);
} else {
reject({
status: this.status,
statusText: xhr.statusText
});
}
};
xhr.onerror = function () {
reject({
status: this.status,
statusText: xhr.statusText
});
};
xhr.send();
});
}

makeRequest('GET', 'https://example.com')
.then(data => {
console.log(data);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error(error);
});

Here’s an example using the fetch API:

fetch('https://example.com')
.then(response => response.text())
.then(data => {
console.log(data);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error(error);
});

Both examples make a GET request to the specified URL and log the response to the console. The fetch API is generally easier to use and has better support for streaming and handling errors, but XMLHttpRequest is still widely used and supported.
