Implementation
Future<Map> httpRequest(Uri uri, Map request) {

req.headers.add(HttpHeaders.contentTypeHeader, jsonMimeType);
req.contentLength = payload.length;
req.write(payload);
req.close().then((HttpClientResponse resp) {

final Map payload = json.decode(String.fromCharCodes(data));
completer.complete(payload);
}, onError: (e) {
print(e);
}, onDone: () {
_client.close();
});
});
}, onError: (e) {
