 - `https`: optional boolean. If true, `https` will be used instead of `http`.
 - `rejectUnauthorized`: optional boolean. If `false`, insecure `https` will be accepted by default (this is useful when you're testing with a self-signed certificate).
+- `raw`: optional boolean. If true, the response's body will be returned as a raw buffer.
 
 `state` must also be an object. It serves two purposes: #1 keep state between requests; and #2 have default values for some request parameters. Regarding keeping state between requests, you can assign any key in this object for your own purposes, *as long as is none of the keys that `options` can have*. If you assign a key that is one of the `options` keys (for example, `host`), if `options.host` is `undefined`, `state.host` will be considered as the `host`. This is what enables #2.
