I have a node.js service and it accepts POST requests. I am trying to use Fiddler to generate the post request. However, when I print the request body in my service, I get an empty object with no data in it. I set the request body in Fiddler to something such as {key:value}. When printing request.body in the node.js service I get an empty object {}.

The request header:

User-Agent: Fiddler
Host: localhost:3000
Content-Length: 10

The body:

{ key:ky }

What am I doing wrong here?

• javascript
• node.js
• post
• fiddler

• 1 if that's the body, it's not valid json, valid json is {"key": "value"}, otherwise please provide more code. – OneOfOne Commented Aug 4, 2014 at 4:51

In the header: Content-Type: application/json In the body: {"key": "value"}
