Parameters for createRequest:
url(string): RPC URL pointing to the Tezos node method(string): HTTP method of the requesttimeout(number): request timeout json(boolean): Parse response into JSON when set to true; defaults to truequery(object): Query that we would like to pass as an HTTP requestheaders(object): HTTP request header mimeType(string): Sets the MIME type of the request; see MIME types
npm install @taquito/http-utils

import { HttpBackend } from '@taquito/http-utils';const httpBackend = new HttpBackend();
const response = httpBackend.createRequest({
