request post node.js

var request = require('request'), default_headers, site_root = 'http://localhost:3000';;

default_headers = {
  'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1',
  'Accept': 'text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8',
  'Accept-Language': 'en-us,en;q=0.5',
  'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate',
  'Accept-Charset': 'ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7',
  // 'Connection': 'keep-alive',
  'Cache-Control': 'max-age=0'
};

request({
  url: site_root + '/login',
  headers: default_headers,
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify({ user:'my_user', password:'my_pass' })
}, function (err, res, body) {
  if (!err && res.statusCode == 200) {
    console.log(body);
  }
});

You can also use Requestify as alternative..

var requestify = require('requestify');

requestify.post('http://example.com', {
    hello: 'world'
})
.then(function(response) {
    // Get the response body (JSON parsed or jQuery object for XMLs)
    response.getBody();
})

Hi Ranm8 ,

I am doing as below code

describe('contact service test', function () {
it('should return 200 for a GET request', function () {
var requestify = require('requestify');

    var req = requestify.get('http://localhost:3001/api/contacts/54499096')
        .then(function (response) {
            res.jsonp(response.body);
            console.log('STATUS: ' + req);
            //response.getBody();
            // Get the response body (JSON parsed or jQuery object for XMLs)
            //console.log(response.getBody());
            done();
        }, function(err){
            console.log(err)
        })
        .fail(function(res) {
            console.log(res);
            console.log(body);
            console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statuscode);
        });
});

});

Here I want to display the data which comes in body.. but its not working. Can you please suggest me that how can i get the body data in cmd.

and if I add wrong id in api then it should display error.
