Overview

This project is node.js server application using express and pug packages.

Packages and Tools

To run the project in VS Code, you will need following packages:

• express pug morgan entities

Server Application

Start your server as a standard node.js application from command-line:

node ./app1.js

The server handles two routes:

• Route: GET "/" - displays UI
• Route: GET "/submit" - returns text/json/xml depending on Accept value in request header
• Route: POST "/submit" - returns text/json/xml depending on Accept value in request header (same as GET /submit). name parameter is passed in request body (payload)

Example usage (open links in web browser)

http://localhost:8000
http://localhost:8000/submit?name=ala
http://localhost:8000/submit?name=ola

Execute a POST using curl and passing name parameter in request body

curl -X POST -d "name=ola" http://localhost:8000/submit
curl -X POST -d "name=ola" http://localhost:8000/submit -H "Accept: application/json"
curl -X POST -d "name=ola" http://localhost:8000/submit -H "Accept: application/xml"
