I use node.js as a client that makes some http requests. I want to use http in syncronous manner. I know node.js has synchronous versions of file system apis. Is there something for http also?

There isn’t a synchronous function for doing http requests in Node.js. There are only a few synchronous function in Node, mostly which are related to file operations.
You can use promises however to achieve this, but looks to me more complicated that actually writing a few lines of asynchronous code. ( example of promises libraries: https://github.com/medikoo/deferred or https://github.com/megakorre/promise ).
You should really try to write asynchronous code in Node, since Node is all about that (async).
