How to send a Single-Part POST Request in Node.js? - node.js

Question

PhantomJs's webserver does not support multipart requests, so I'm trying to send a single-part request from NodeJs.
Unfortunatly the nodejs example looks to be multipart. is there any way of doing this with NodeJs?
http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_request_options_callback
edit:
in the nodejs docs it mentions:
Sending a 'Content-length' header will disable the default chunked encoding.
but unfortunatly it's still multi-part, just not multi-multipart :P
edit2: for showing code, it's a bit hard to show a distilled example, but here goes:
node.js code (it's Typescript code):
```
//send our POST body (our clientRequest)
var postBody = "hello";
var options : __node_d_ts.IRequestOptions = {
host: host,
port: port,
path: "/",
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Content-length": postBody.length
}
};
//logger.assert(false);
var clientRequest = http.request(options,(response: http.ServerResponse) => {
//callback stuff here
});
clientRequest.on("error", (err) => {
thisObj.abort("error", "error,request error", err);
});
//clientRequest.write();
clientRequest.end(postBody);
```
when i read the results from PhantomJS, the post/postRaw fields are null.
when I use a tool like the Chrome "Advanced REST Client" extension to send a POST body, phantomjs gets it no problem.
i don't have a network sniffer, but as described here, it says phantomjs doesnt work with multipart so I think that's a good guesss: How can I send POST data to a phantomjs script
EDIT3:
indeed, here's the request phantomjs gets from my chrome extension (valid post)
//cookie, userAgent, and Origin headers removed for brevity
{"headers":{"Accept":"*/*","Accept-Encoding":"gzip,deflate,sdch","Accept-Language":"en-US,en;q=0.8,ko;q=0.6","Connection":"keep-alive","Content-Length":"5","Content-Type":"application/json","DNT":"1","Host":"localhost:41338", "httpVersion":"1.1","method":"POST","post":"hello","url":"/"}
and here's the request phantomjs gets from the nodejs code i show above:
//full request, nothing omitted!
{"headers":{"Connection":"keep-alive","Content-Type":"application/json","Content-length":"5","Host":"10.0.10.15:41338"},"httpVersion":"1.1","method":"POST","url":"/"}
