I have an API to authenticate the user with LDAP and I have been provided with the information which includes Content-Type: application/json and username and password for the request header and then the user's username and password to be passed in body. I tried the below code but it's not working. I want to know if I am passing the header request correctly or not.
router.post('/user', function(req, res){
var auth = {
content-type: "application/json",
username: "abcd",
password: "xyze"
}
auth.post('/user', {username: req.body.username, password: req.body.password"}, function(response) {
console.log(response);
})
})
node.js rest express http-headers http-post

Consider use axios package to make your requests: https://www.npmjs.com/package/axios
This link has a section “Creating an instance showing how you can set the header:
var instance = axios.create({
baseURL: 'https://some-domain.com/api/',
timeout: 1000,
headers: {'X-Custom-Header': 'foobar'}
});
Once the header is set, invoke the post method, like this:
instance.post('/my/specific/endpoint/', myData);
In the following example, you can pass an authentication token as the header to your request:
import axios from 'axios';
const MY_BASE_URL = 'https://www.myserver.com/';
class MyLdapService {
static xhr(accessToken) {
const options = {
baseURL: MY_BASE_URL,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
};
return axios.create(options);
}
static async myPostEndpoint(accessToken, data) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
this.xhr(accessToken).post('my-endpoint/', data)
.then(result => resolve(result.data.card))
.catch(err => reject(this.createError(err)));
});
}
}
So you can invoke the POST endpoint like this:
MyLdapService.myPostEndpoint('my_access_token', {});
