doc: fix mistake in http.md

galeo · MylesBorins · commit 8dbf827de36b · 2017-09-05T12:49:52.000-04:00
If the first parameter of `request.end` `data` is specified, it should be equivalent to calling `request.write(data, encoding)` (not `response.write(data, encoding)`) followed by `request.end(callback)`.
