Beta Runtime's Request Body is a Buffer instead of Object

[danfsd]

Request's body is a <Buffer> instead of object in Azure Function's Runtime Beta. This works fine in the Cloud (which I suppose is running Runtime 1.x

Repro steps

Try to run the boilerplate Javascript code in the Runtime beta:

module.exports = function (context, req) {
    context.log('JavaScript HTTP trigger function processed a request.');
    context.log(context.req.body.name);
    if (req.query.name || (req.body && req.body.name)) {
        context.res = {
            // status: 200, /* Defaults to 200 */
            body: "Hello " + (req.query.name || req.body.name)
        };
    }
    else {
        context.res = {
            status: 400,
            body: "Please pass a name on the query string or in the request body"
        };
    }
    context.done();
};

Expected behavior

The context.log(context.req.body.name) should log:

Actual behavior

Instead, it's logging:

<Buffer 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 33 30 38 32 35 30 31 33 36 35 39 30 36 31 38 38 37 30 38 32 36 32 ... >

Known workarounds

This scenario works just fine under the Runtime 1.x running on Azure Functions.
