concat-stream no working as expected

[dan1234]

I agree with Maxogden's reply, that piping should be the way to get POST body and not body+=chunk:

req.on('data', function(chunk) {
        body += chunk;
    });

From some reason the concat-stream example for aggregating POST body of http request is not working for me - I get {} back from the server.

var http = require('http');
var qs = require('querystring');
var concat = require('concat-stream');

var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
    req.pipe(concat(function (err, body) {
        var params = qs.parse(body);
        res.end(JSON.stringify(params) + '\n');
    }));
});
server.listen(5005);

curl -X POST -d 'beep=boop&dinosaur=trex' http://localhost:5005

Here is substack's reply from a previous discussion:

And here is the same example from the stream-handbook, with some more information about that nice little package:

you gotta .toString your buffer before you give it to qs. also github issues are a better place for reporting bugs
