Request: req.pipe(request(url)).pipe(res); can not pipe body. Can you tell me how to result it, thanks

Created on 22 Sep 2016 · 3Comments · Source: request/request

when I request a response from other server via my node server, I do this:
app.use(function (req, res) {
req.pipe(request(url)).pipe(res).
})
But I use request-debug, find that no req.body to the other server, causing much trouble.
Can you tell me how to result it.
Thanks.

Thank you, I found the solution:
express default use 'app.use(body-parser('json'))', which means server get req and parser req.body to json. But pipe need stream to do. so change it to 'app.use(body-parser(raw()))'. raw() parser req.body to stream.

It's my solution.
