CGI POST examples

[dbadb]

Thanks for this nice package. I have a usage question which I haven't been able (yet) to tease out of the documentation. My requirement to pull the CGI CONTENT data from a POST. I see two fields in the request obj: cgiParams and socket.params. While I do see CONTENT_LENGTH, etc, I don't see the actual CONTENT there.

Is it up to my code to perform a read on the socket stream to obtain this?

I suppose this is either suggestion for docs or a missing feature/example... For example, if the example server just had a clause handling req.method === "POST", I'd probably be good to go.

One additional datapoint: there may be a bug in node-fastcgi/lib/request.js, line 281..
CONTENT_LENGTH and CONTENT_TYPE are renamed in the header as nt-length and nt-type due to the slice(5).

[dbadb]

So perhaps I've resolved my issue..

FWIW: this little snippet would be helpful in your example:

else if(req.method === "POST") {
res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' });
var body="";
req.on('data', function(data) {
body += data;
});
req.on('end', function() {
res.end("POST working:" + body);
});
}

Thank you for the bug report, I'm opening a separate issue for that.
About POST method handling, just read the request body like you did; I can add the example. In general, this module strives to completely emulate the standard http module: code written for an http server should work without changes with FastCGI.

@dbadb thank you very much for reporting that bug. It was really critical but had not been noticed by anyone until now.
