Express.js req.body undefined

Question

I have this as configuration of my Express server

app.use(app.router); 
app.use(express.cookieParser());
app.use(express.session({ secret: \"keyboard cat\" }         


        

Answer 1

In case if you post SOAP message you need to use raw body parser:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');

app.use(bodyParser.raw({ type: 'text/xml' }));
