`require('https')` standard library to do `HTTP` requests	`require('querystring')` lib to manage query strings
`{name: 'Joe', age: 98}` sample data to post	`qs.stringify(` convert given object to query string
`application/x-www-form-urlencoded` let Nodejs know we are going to send url-encoded query string	`req.write(body)` write encoded data to request (sends encoded post data to server)

Usage example

const https = require('https');
const qs = require('querystring');

let data = {name: 'Joe', age: 98};
let body = qs.stringify(data);

let req = https.request({
  hostname: 'echoof.me',
  port: 443,
  path: '/',
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
    'Content-Length': body.length
  }
}, (resp) => {
  let data = '';
  resp.on('data', (chunk) => { data += chunk; });

  resp.on('end', () => {
    console.log(data);
  });
});

req.write(body);
