node.js接收使用HTTP通过表单提交的POST数据

Question

I'm using a node.js server and need to post data over an http* s * protocol.

POST is listed as a http protocol, so I'm wondering if I'm on the wrong track.

Anyway, here is the top of my code that handles the POST. I've not included the on('end') function for berevity, but it is there.

exports.login = function(req, res){
if(req.method == 'POST'){
    var datastring = '';
    req.on('data', function(data){
        datastring += data;
        console.log("getting data");
        if(datastring.length > 1e6){
            req.connection.destroy();
        }
    });

Through console logs I can determine that the request is being made, and that the request is recognised as POST, but that req.on('data')'s function is never called.

I looked into a CONNECT protocol, but this isn't supported by browser forms - please advise how to send data through CONNECT if you don't think I can send POST data over HTTPS

Thanks for your help

EDIT: here is form that sends request:

<form name="loginForm" action="login" method="POST" onsubmit="return checkForm()" class="separate-sections">

and here is node.js code that grabs post

var app= express();
...
app.post('/login', route_login.login);

To make a long story short, does POST work over HTTPS? It doesn't seem to be working here.

Answer 1

Found out someone on my team had added the express bodyparser, so naturally posts no longer work in the way I had before. The change just happened to coincide with when we switched to https which made it look as if this was the issue, when it was not.
