Returning a result from an AJAX Node.js GET request

I need to verify that a URL leads to a valid page. I am doing this by checking that the status code is 200. I spoke to people about dealing with AJAX, and they all said to use callbacks. Apparently this doesn't work either. The code does not return anything. I have no idea how to get around this.

function httpRequest(callback) {
    http.get(options, function(res) {
        if (res.statusCode == 200) {
            callback(true);
        }
    });
}


httpRequest(function(result) {
    console.log(result);
    return result;
});
