    Alias to the `request` method of <a href='Http-class.html'><code>Http</code></a>, for those who'd prefer a simple function instead
    of an object. In order to get TypeScript type information about the `HttpFactory`, the <a href='IHttp-interface.html'><code>IHttp</code></a> interface can be used as shown in the following example.
    
    #Example
    
    ```
    import {httpInjectables, HttpFactory, IHttp} from 'angular2/http';
    @Component({
      appInjector: [httpInjectables]
    })
    @View({
      templateUrl: 'people.html'
    })
    class MyComponent {
     constructor(@Inject(HttpFactory) http:IHttp) {
       http('people.json').subscribe(res => this.people = res.json());
     }
    }
    ```
