Hook Events Names

sendRequest sends HTTP request:

gotResponse event emitted when request comes back:

Example

//
// requestOptions is a 1:1 mapping to https://github.com/mikeal/request API 
//
var requestOptions = {
  "url": "http://google.com"
};

myHook.emit('sendRequest', requestOptions);

myHook.on('*::gotResponse', function(data){
  
  console.log(data);
  
  /* Outputs:
    {
       err:         err,
       statusCode:  response.statusCode,
       headers:     response.headers,
       body:        response.body
       hook:     options,
       requestTime: requestTime
     }
   */
  
})

Note that the "hook" key contains original parameterts passed to request, making it ideal to put some other values for handling the request context (such as linking the request to an id, for example)
