app.use(app.router); 
app.use(express.cookieParser());
app.use(express.session({ secret: \"keyboard cat\" }         


        

Answer 1

The Content-Type in request header is really important, especially when you post the data from curl or any other tools.

Make sure you're using some thing like application/x-www-form-urlencoded, application/json or others, it depends on your post data. Leave this field empty will confuse Express.
