const http = require('http');
const req = http.request({
method: 'POST',
hostname: 'cloudsso‐test.myco.com',
port: 80,
path: '/as/token.oauth2',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
agent: false // create a new agent just for this one request
}, function (res) {
res.on('headers', function (h) {
console.log('headers => ', h);
});
let data = '';
res.on('data', function (d) {
data += d;
});
res.once('end', function () {
console.log('data => ', data);
});
});
req.write(JSON.stringify({

req.end();
I run this code, and I get the following error:
_http_outgoing.js:358
throw new TypeError('The header content contains invalid characters');

Cannot figure out where this error is coming from. I hear it's for security reasons in newer versions of Node but cannot figure out how to get around it.
I had a similar issue where I was generating a jwt token for Authorization and it was inserting newline characters. Replacing those with token.replace(/\r?\n|\r/g, '')
did the trick for me.
