Browser-sync: middleware: get post data from req

[zewa666]

is there a way to access the payload from an POST ajax request?

can't find any trace of it inside req

middleware: function (req, res, next) {
        if (req.url.match(/^.*\/api\/.*/)) {
          // WHERE IS THE POST DATA ?!?
          req.???
        }

        next();
      }

Browsersync does not modify the request, so it's likely you're trying to access data where it's not available.

If you still think this is a bug, please provide a working example which I can look at and debug :)

@shakyShane I'm pretty sure it didn't work on normal POST and PUT requests, thats why I've created this PR https://github.com/BrowserSync/browser-sync/pull/896

Maybe I get something wrong, but the question is about something like this (stolen from http://blog.frankgrimm.net/2010/11/howto-access-http-message-body-post-data-in-node-js/):

req.on('data', function(chunk) {
  console.log("Received body data:");
  console.log(chunk.toString());
});
