proxy json requests with node express

Question

I use the following node-express code to proxy requests from a web server to an API server:

app.use(\'/api\', function(req, res) {
  var url = \'http://my.do         


        

Answer 1

In the case of a post request, the following construct works:

app.post('/api/method', (req, res) => {
  req.pipe(request.post(someUrl, { json: true, body: req.body }), { end: false }).pipe(res);
}

This is of course relevant if you're using the bodyparser middleware.
