Error: main.js:1 Uncaught Error: Cannot find module 'http'

Question

The http module is baked into Node.js, right? So require('http'); has to work, right? Then why does this fail?

var httpSumo = require('http');

seems to result in this error:

main.js:1 Uncaught Error: Cannot find module 'http'

Might there be something in a configuration someplace that's preventing it from loading? I've done this before. It has always worked, but here I'm forking from someone else's git.

I can't believe I didn't see this before, but the component that's failing is client side, not server side. So of course it can't open a socket. d'oh... that' explains it.
