• How to post json data over http as a client

  in JavaScript • 5 years, 8 months

  

  Make sure to add the appropriate headers when sending JSON data:

  var data = JSON.stringify({ key: "value" });
  
  const options = {
      //...
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Content-Length": json.length
      }
  };
  
  require("http").request(options, function(res)  {
     //...
  }).end(data);
  

  I recommend attaching an error handler :)

  const req = require("http").request(/* ... */);
  req.on("error", err => console.log("Request error: " + err.message)) ;
  req.end(data);
