Calling NetSuite restlet from Node - node.js

Question

I'm trying to call a restlet from nodejs; it's a simple post with some authorization but all I get is some error :
{"error" : {"code" : "SYNTAX_ERROR", "message" : "SyntaxError: Empty JSON string (null$lib#3)."}}
Here's my code
request.post({
url: netSuiteUrl
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
'Authorization': 'NLAuth nlauth_account=<account>, nlauth_email=<email>, nlauth_signature=<username>, nlauth_role=3'
}
content: '{"data":"test"}'
}, (error, response, body) ->
console.log(body)
)
The restlet actually receives the call and authorization is working. The same data I'm sending works fine with the following PHP code:
$opts = array(
'http' => array(
'method' => "POST",
'header' => "Authorization: NLAuth nlauth_account=<account>, nlauth_email=<email>, nlauth_signature=<signature>, nlauth_role=3\r\n" .
"Content-Type: application/json\r\n",
'content': '{"data":"test"}'
)
);
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$file = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
Any hint?

Which library do you use to send your request? Do you try with the module http of Node JS? It seems that your content isn't sent within the request.
See code below for example:
var postData = querystring.stringify({data:'test'});
var options = {
hostname: '<my host>',
port: 80,
path: '/<mypath>',
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
'Authorization': 'NLAuth nlauth_account=<account>, nlauth_email=<email>, nlauth_signature=<username>, nlauth_role=3',
}
};
var req = http.request(options, function(res) {
// Handle successful request
console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);
console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
console.log('BODY: ' + chunk);
});
});
// Handle errors
req.on('error', function(e) {
console.log('problem with request: ' + e.message);
});
// Send data
req.write(postData);
req.end();
Hope it helps you,
