// this approach allows for configuring and sending the request later
let r = request({
  url: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1",
  enableDefaultInterceptors: true,
});

r.allowUnauthorized()
  .setContentType(Types.XML)
  .send()
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.log);

// or alternatively

sendRequest({
  url: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1",
  enableDefaultInterceptors: true,
  allowUnauthorized: true,
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": Types.XML,
  },
})
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.log);

// fork a new request from previous one's configurations
Request.from(r)
  .addConfig({
    url: "<different url>",
  })
  .send()
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.log);
