Is it possible to get the data of a post request from within the http.createServer callback?

http.createServer(function(req, res) {
    if (req.method == "GET") {
        // do get stuff
    } else if (req.method == "POST") {
        // save post data to sd-card
    }
}).listen(port);

Not yet - I just created an issue for this though: https://github.com/espruino/Espruino/issues/226

You can hack around it by looking at the actual data received though:

function pageHandler(req, res) {
  console.log(req["dRcv"].substr(req["dRcv"].indexOf("\r\n\r\n")+4));
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
  res.write('<html><body><form method="post"><textarea name="foo"></textarea><input type="submit"></form></body></html>');
  res.end();
}

However it is an internal variable so it may change in the future.

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
