18,813 PointsFrom my understading, the http module is "native" and you can require it / declare it as variable from any file. the reason you'd do it in both files is because the variables won't "export" unless you choose to (for example , you choose to export the functions themselves, which run independatly).
I'm not sure it's the correct answer as I'm just learning this now but if someone could clarify it in a more professional way it would be great.
