When I move my mouse over the red. it says:
Import assignment cannot be used when targeting ECMAScript 6 or higher. Consider using 'import * as ns from "mod"', 'import {a} from "mod"' or 'import d from "mod"' instead.
Like I said it compiles and runs just fine. It's just REALLY annoying having that constantly there?
I am brand new to node.js and typescript. But not brand new to programming, I'v been a C# developer for a long time.
I found the answer. I should have just done what it told me to do :)
I replaced
import http = require("http");
with
import * as http from "http"
no more complaining and it all compiles.
I followed the same pattern for the rest of the requires that I had.

Open you tsconfig.json and add the following (replacing an existing value if already present... and merging with existing data accordingly):
{
"compilerOptions" :{
"target": "es5"
}
}
