I have code like the following:
var req = require('request');
req.post('someUrl',
{ form: { username: 'user', password: '', opaque: 'someValue', logintype: '1'}, },
function (e, r, body) {
console.log(body);
});
How can I set headers for this? I need user-agent, content-type and probably something else to be in the headers:
headers = {
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.110 Safari/537.36',
'Content-Type' : 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
};
I've tried in multiple ways but I can either send header or form-data, failed to send both.
I've finally managed to do it. Answer in code snippet below:
var querystring = require('querystring');
var request = require('request');
var form = {
username: 'usr',
password: 'pwd',
opaque: 'opaque',
logintype: '1'
};
var formData = querystring.stringify(form);
var contentLength = formData.length;
request({
headers: {
'Content-Length': contentLength,
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
},
uri: 'http://myUrl',
body: formData,
method: 'POST'
}, function (err, res, body) {
//it works!
});
