now dev local development not parsing req.body from external domain

[benoror]

Hi! My use-case involves doing local development while getting requests from an external service into my localhost.

module.exports = async (req, res) => {
  console.log(req.body)
  res.status(200).json(req.body)
}

It works when I locally curl -X POST localhost:3000/api -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"foo":"bar"}'

But when getting the request from an external host req.body is undefined

I tried setting now.json headers to allow any origin, but I had no success:

  "headers": [
    {
      "source": "/(.*)",
      "headers": [
        {
          "key" : "Access-Control-Allow-Origin",
          "value" : "/*"
        },
        {
          "key" : "Access-Control-Allow-Headers",
          "value" : "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept"
        },
        {
          "key" : "Access-Control-Allow-Credentials",
          "value" : "true"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]

@benoror External sources have no way to reach your local domain unless you open up a tunnel to your local machine with something like ngrok.

I forgot to mention I am indeed using ngrok to create a tunnel
