Test for including body in HTTP GET requests using http.request. Results in empty body and "problem with request: socket hang up".

request.js

var http = require('http');

var options = {
  hostname: 'localhost',
  port: 23000,
  path: '/',
  method: 'GET'
};

var req = http.request(options, function(res) {
  console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);
  console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
  res.setEncoding('utf8');
  res.on('data', function (chunk) {
    console.log('BODY: ' + chunk);
  });
});

req.on('error', function(e) {
  console.log('problem with request: ' + e.message);
});

// write data to request body
req.write('data\n');
req.write('data\n');
req.end();

server.js

var http = require('http');

function handleRequest(req, res) {
	var body = "";

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

	req.on('end', function() {
		console.log(body);
	});
}

var serverHTTP = http.createServer(handleRequest).listen(23000, function() {
	console.log("Listening on port 23000");
});
