I want to send http request using node.js. I do:

var options = {
    host: \'www.mainsms.ru\',
    path: \'/api/mainsms/message/se

The best way is to use the native module QueryString :

var qs = require('querystring');
console.log(qs.escape('Hello $ é " \' & ='));
// 'Hello%20%24%20%C3%A9%20%22%20\'%20%26%20%3D'

This is a native module, so you don't have to npm install anything.
