I wanted to know, how to pass the json request in the payload, for eg: {'name' : 'test', 'value' : 'test'}
:
var post_data = {};
var post_options = {
host: this._host,
path: path,
method: 'POST',
headers: {
Cookie: "session=" + session,
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Content-Length': post_data.length,
}
};
// Set up the request
var post_req = http.request(post_options, function (res) {
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
console.log('========Response========: ' + chunk);
});
});
// post the data
post_req.write(post_data);
post_req.end();
Use the request module
npm install -S request
var request = require('request')
var postData = {
name: 'test',
value: 'test'
}
var url = 'https://www.example.com'
var options = {
method: 'post',
body: postData,
json: true,
url: url
}
request(options, function (err, res, body) {
if (err) {
console.error('error posting json: ', err)
throw err
}
var headers = res.headers
var statusCode = res.statusCode
console.log('headers: ', headers)
console.log('statusCode: ', statusCode)
console.log('body: ', body)
})
