net.request post data not working

Question

Posting data using net.request is not working. It's reaching the URL. But data not posted. My code is below. Please help me on this.

const net = remote.net;
const querystring = require('querystring');

//**
var postData = querystring.stringify({
    'username' : 'test',
    'password': 'test'
});

const request = net.request({
  method: 'POST',
  url: 'http://127.0.0.1/post.php',
});

request.on('error', (error) => {});

request.on('response', (response) => {});


request.write(postData);
request.end();

I know it's been a while. But for the next people who will have the same problem.

Don't forget you must be declare the size of your "postData" in the header. for example :

var postData = JSON.stringify({"q" : sqlQuery });
const request = net.request({
        method: 'POST',
        protocol: 'http:',
        hostname: '127.0.0.1',
        port: 3000,
        path: '/select',
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
          'Content-Length': postData.length
        }
       }) 
request.on('response', (response) => {
.... // Something
})
request.write(postData)
request.end()
