节点JS HTTP GET请求正文

Question

I am using the express module in node.js and I am trying to read the body of an HTTP GET request and send an answer back to the user based on the content of the body. I am new to node.js and this is not working for me.

I know I should be using HTTP POST for this (and it works when I am using post), but the server I am trying to mimic in node.js uses GET, so I have to stick to it. Is there a way to do this in node.js? Thanks!

Here is a sample code I did. When I use app.post, I see the logs for the body, but when I use app.get, I see no logs at all!

app.get('/someURL/', function(req, res){

  var postData = '';

  req.on('data', function(chunk) {
    console.log("chunk request:");
    console.log(chunk);
    postData += chunk;
  });

  req.on('end', function() {
    console.log("body request:");
    console.log(postData);
  });

  //Manipulate response based on postData information

  var bodyResponse = "some data based on request body"

  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json;charset=utf-8');
  res.setHeader('Content-Length', bodyResponse.length);

  res.send(bodyResponse);
};

The version of Node's HTML parser you are using does not support bodies in GET requests. This feature is available on the latest unstable v0.11 branch.
