I write this: It work fine, you can modify it like this.
request({
method: 'POST',
url: 'http://127.0.0.1:3000' + '/index',
body: {

Answer 4

I met a similar issue on Win10 after a system update. It was caused by the system proxy settings.
http_proxy=127.0.0.1:8888
https_proxy=127.0.0.1:8888
Change the above environment settings to
http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888
https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888
done the job for me.
Btw, if you use git-bash, you can also check the git config.
$git config --list
...
http.sslverify=false
http.proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888
https.proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888
