In my case, after upgrading to node 8.0.0, the post does not work anymore. adding Content-Length to header does not help. Have to add 'Connection': 'keep-alive' to the header instead to get this error away.

    let postOptions = {
        method: 'POST',
        form: form,
        url: finalUrl,
        followRedirect: false,
        headers:{
            'Connection': 'keep-alive'
        }
    };
    request(postOptions, handleSAMLResponse);
