PHP will not receive correctly when set option "json" to "true"

[wilsoncook]

see this request:

request({
    url:'http://localhost/test.php', 
    method:'post',
    form:{UserId:60,title:'test1',messsage:'test1'},
    json:true, 
    proxy: 'http://127.0.0.1:8888'
}, function(err, res, body){console.log(body);});

the raw header & content will be:

so the body content was wrapped by double quotes, and then the php side will receive like this:

anyway, the content-type will not set as "application/json" like the README said.
i wondered why adding double quotes, thanks!

You're using two features at the same time that conflict with each other :)

The form option is for sending form encoded bodies. The json option if for json bodies AND for setting headers to receive JSON content types.

you should do this instead:

request.post({json: {UserId:60,title:'test1',messsage:'test1'}}, (err, resp, body) => console.log(body))

@wilsoncook did @mikeal's answer solve your problem? If it did, I believe this issue should be closed.
