NodeJs request response body is empty - node.js

Question

Don't understand why the response body of the following request is empty:
request:
req.headers['User-Agent'] = 'request';
req.headers['Accept'] = 'text/html';
const options = {
url: config.prodURL,
headers: req.headers,
qs: req.query,
method: req.method
};
request(options, (err, resp, body) => {
console.log(resp);
});
I'm expecting HTML in this response, but for some reason, when I look at resp it displays body: ''
Part of the resp contains the href url and if I use this in any client, it displays the HTML code.
What is wrong with this config?
update
Here's the data with the exception of hrefas I cannot share this URL. err is null, here are the rest of the values:
{ url: 'http://my.url/',
headers:
{ 'user-agent': 'PostmanRuntime/7.15.2',
accept: '*/*',
'cache-control': 'no-cache',
'postman-token': '8c208831-580b-4460-b3e0-046d85789658',
host: 'localhost:8001',
'accept-encoding': 'gzip, deflate',
connection: 'keep-alive',
'User-Agent': 'request',
Accept: 'text/html' },
qs: { query-params... },
method: 'GET'
}
I believe it might be related to the response headers, the URL requested doesn't return any, so does requestJs require a content-type to be able to parse the body?
