To support HTTP client APIs, Cloudflare reimplemented the core node:http APIs by building on top of the standard fetch() API that Workers use natively, maintaining Node.js compatibility without significantly affecting performance.

However, the managed approach makes it impossible to support a subset of Node.js APIs.
