How to attract more documentation contributions? [was: CC3000 Socket error -1 while sending]

Hi! I'm having an issue that I don't know how to fix.

I'm using code similar to this:

var wlan = require("CC3000").connect();
wlan.connect("SSID","PASSWORD",function(s){
  if (s=="dhcp") {
    var payload = {
      NodeId:1,
      Channel:"temperature",
      Value:23.5,
      Metric:"celcius"
    };
    var strPayload = JSON.stringify(payload);
    var options = {
      host: 'requestb.in',
      port: '80',
      path:'/wt3kigwt',
      method:'POST'
    };
    var req = require("http").request(options,function(res) {
        console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);
        console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
        res.on('data', function(data) {
          console.log("   " + data);
        });
        res.on('close', function() {
          console.log("closed");
        });
    });
    req.on('error', function(e) {
      console.log('problem with request: ' + e.message);
    });
    req.write(strPayload);
    req.end();
  }
});

Check results here http://requestb.in/wt3kigwt?inspect

For this I get Content-Length: 0 which is a problem because my API needs this header to function properly (can't do anything about that) so then; let's try to add the header:

var options = {
      host: 'requestb.in',
      port: '80',
      path:'/wt3kigwt',
      method:'POST',
      headers: { "Content-Length": strPayload.length }
    };

Now, one of two things happens:

1. Socket error -1 while sending
   
2. The espruino simply hangs, last output is >echo();
   
   

I have tested this with both 1v73 and 1v74, I have yet to make a successful POST to my API.

Any ideas?
