Documentation for Request and Response objects in Node.js

I am unable to find sufficient documentation on the request and response objects in Node.js

I know that they are either an instance of or inherit from the http.IncomingMessage object (http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_incomingmessage). IncomingMessage implements Readable Stream. http://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_class_stream_readable provides some of the methods the request and response objects should then have, but the methods I am looking for such as addListener() are not there.

I looked at this question on stackoverflow Nodejs Request Object Documentation? but could not find more that what I listed in the above paragraph.

I would find it super helpful if:

1) anyone has a link to good documentation for the request and response objects with their callable public methods listed

2) I saw from the question I linked to above that you can view the request object in the node.js shell, but I don't know how to access it since (as far as I know) it is only available when passed as a parameter through a callback method passed to the createServer() method. If I can access the request and response methods in the shell then I can see their contents (including callable methods).

I have just started javascript and node.js so my jargon might be off, particularly regarding callback methods. Any corrections are welcome.

Thanks!
