Uploadify with NodeJS | Post parameters not being sent

votes

I'm building my latest app using nodeJS and need to be able to upload multiple files. I have chosen to use Uploadify flash based file uploader.

Unfortunately the 'scriptData' vars don't seem to be being sent. Usual method of retrieval of POST vars in node looks like var postDataValue = req.body.postDataKey; but with Uploadify the req.body object is empty.

Hope someone can help with this.

I had to send the parameters via query string in the end. Must be something to do with NodeJS.

It's not Node.js. req.body is not part of node. It's built into BodyParser and provided by Connect. Mainly used in Express.

See http://senchalabs.github.com/connect/middleware-bodyParser.html

If you don't use it, the req.body object should be empty.
