  * @property {Boolean} noSslValidation Optional; turns of the SSL validation. **Warning:** do this only if you know what you're doing and if you have proper reasons for doing it. Making SSL useless is not a small thing to do
  * @property {Boolean} stream Optional; passes a ReadableStream back to the completion callback of a HTTP request
  * @property {Boolean} noRedirect Optional; turns off the HTTP redirects. Passes back the headers and body of the redirect response. Adds a couple of response headers which indicate the redirection target: redirect-to-url - which indicates the target URL for the redirect as the location header might be a relative path, and redirect-to-host if there's a specified host header in the request
- * @property {Buffer|Stream} reqBody Optional; the contents of the request body for PUT, POST, etc. requests. Must be a Buffer or a Readable Stream instance. For Buffers, the content-length is Buffer.lenght. For a Readable Stream you must pass a content-length header, unless you're building a POST request with the [form-data](https://github.com/felixge/node-form-data) module. The library makes no assumptions about the content-type header, unless you're building a form with form-data

  * @property {Object} auth Optional; an Object that contains the authentication information. Currently it only implements HTTP Basic Authentication. The HTTP Basic Authentication was already supported by passing the username:password to the URL itself. This option provides a more API-friendly approach and it adds the basics for implementing HTTP Digest Authentication.
  * @property {String} auth.type The authentication type; Supported value: basic
