HTTP echo server using node.js and express

package.json

{
  "name": "mock-http-server",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "server.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "express": "^4.15.2"
  }
}

server.js

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

var app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.text({
  type: function(req) {
    return 'text';
  }
}));

app.post('/post', function (req, res) {
  console.log(req.body);
  res = res.status(200);
  if (req.get('Content-Type')) {
    console.log("Content-Type: " + req.get('Content-Type'));
    res = res.type(req.get('Content-Type'));
  }
  res.send(req.body);
});

http.createServer(app).listen(7000);

It's actually a little tricky to have express not try to do something with the POST body of a request. I had to use the bodyParser.text function and define a custom type that evaluates all incoming content as text thus ending around usage of the type-is library.

Thanks for sharing! it works for me to help to identify an issue.
