# **N.B.** You should **not** be using this in a production application. In a node.js application you will find that you are completely unable to scale your server. In a client application you will find that sync-request causes the app to hang/freeze. Synchronous web requests are the number one cause of browser crashes. For production apps, you should use [then-request](https://github.com/then/then-request), which is exactly the same except that it is asynchronous.

### Production use in conjunction with shelljs is reasonable because shelljs is typically used to write short, synchronous command line scripts. But it *never* makes sense to to use this module in a web app, REST server, socket.io server, etc.
