I am having a function in php which process $_POST data.
Using curl I can send my data like this:
curl --data "request=value2" http://localhost/mywebsite/
in php:
if (isset($_POST)) {
echo '<look>' . $_POST . '</look>';
exit;
}
I can view output <look>Array</look> in console after using curl.
but how to call above post request using node.js
This is what I tried so far:
const postData = querystring.stringify({
'request': 'value2'
});
// the post options
var optionspost = {
host: 'localhost',
path: 'mywebsite/?request=value2',
method : 'POST',
port : 80,
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(postData)
}
};
console.info('Options prepared:');
//console.info(optionspost);
console.info('Do the POST call');
// do the POST call
var reqPost = http.request(optionspost, function(res) {
console.log("statusCode: ", res.statusCode);
// uncomment it for header details
//console.log("headers: ", res);
res.on('data', function(d) {
console.info('POST result:\n');
console.log(d);
var textChunk = d.toString('utf8');
console.log(textChunk);
console.info('\n\nPOST completed');
});
});
// write the json data
//reqPost.write(jsonObject);
reqPost.on('error', function(e) {
console.log("post error");
console.error(e);
});
reqPost.write(postData);
reqPost.end();
This is output :
statusCode: 400
POST result:
<Buffer 3c 21 44 4f 43 54 59 50 45 20 48 54 4d 4c 20 50 55 42 4c 49 43 20 22 2d
