Answer 1

i tried this and it seems to be working.I needed basic auth so i have included auth,if you don't need it you can discard it.

var value = {email:"",name:""};

 var options = {
        url: 'http://localhost:8080/doc/',
        auth: {
            user: username,
            password: password
        },
        method :"POST",
        json : value,

    };

    request(options, function (err, res, body) {
        if (err) {
            console.dir(err)
            return
        }
        console.dir('headers', res.headers)
        console.dir('status code', res.statusCode)
        console.dir(body)
    });
