Because

The "Learn how to make HTTP requests with Node" link in the Getting Started lesson points to an old markdown file that's no longer officially up on the Node website that demonstrates such functionality both with regular HTTP module in Node and with Axios. Neither of these are truly necessary, as Fetch is quite stable in Node now, and will be familiar to learners from the browser side, plus the Node learning docs have an official page on the matter using Fetch now.

This PR

  • Replaced the url that link points to with the newer page

Issue

Closes #31007

Additional Information

I considered whether there was any benefit to changing the text itself, but I don't think there's anything better than what's already there. But, if someone feels differently, I don't feel very strongly about it.
