Using Bulit-in Http Module instead of Request Module on Node.js - node.js

Question

I want to send form data to web-server by using Node.js, So I use "request" module that is very famous in nodeland. And It's cool, There is no problem, But because of some reason (write-stream encoding non-supported), I have to change it to built-in module, "http".
I think beneath codes are same to post some data to web-server, When I using "request" module, There is no problem so can get 200 response, success to sending data.
But in "http" module, I got a 302 response that redirects to another page. and failed post data. I don't know what is problem with, maybe it is something URL trouble, http use 'host and path' on the other hand, request use 'url' . I don't know how can I solve this, I stucked 2 days, please let me know If you have some hints..
Thanks.
By Using "Request" Module
function postFormByRequestModule() {
request({
url: 'http://finance.naver.com/item/board_act.nhn',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' },
method: 'POST',
form: {
code:'000215',
mode: 'write',
title: 'This is Title',
body:'This is body'
}
}, function (error, response, body) {
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
console.log(response.statusCode, response.body);
}
});
}
By Using "Http" Module
var postData = querystring.stringify({
code:'000215',
mode: 'write',
title: 'This is Title',
body:'This is body'
});
var options = {
host: 'finance.naver.com',
path: '/item/board_act.nhn',
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain', }
};
var req = http.request(options, function(res) {
console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
console.log('BODY: ' + chunk);
});
res.on('end', function() {
console.log('No more data in response.')
})
});
req.on('error', function(e) {
console.log('problem with request: ' + e.message);
});
function postFormByBuiltInHttpModule() {
req.write(postData);
req.end();
}

The built-in http client does not automatically follow forwards, whereas the request module does (and has many other "high level" features). So if you want to continue using the built-in client, you will need to manually check res.headers.location and retry the request at that url.
