javascript - node.js: form HTTP Authentication with request module fails - Stack Overflow

I'm trying get page behind the login form with node.js request module.

'username' and 'password' are the names of fields of that form, 'login.php?do=login' is a form action. Doing that I don't get any headers and status codes but only [Error: no auth mechanism defined] message in console.

var request = require('request'),

var options = {
    'auth' : {
    'username':'name',
    'password':'pass'
},
url: '.php?do=login',
headers: {
    "User-Agent":"user-agent"
    }
}

request.post(options, function(err,res,body) {
if(err){
    console.log(err);
    return;
}
console.log('headers :', res.headers);
console.log('status code :', res.statusCode);
console.log($('body').text());
});

How could I investigate this? Which way it can be "sniffered" or something like that?

Request module's auth option is to handle basic access authentication. Most likely the page you try to load does not use BAA, but uses a simple form with a post request. To send form data with requests:

var options = {
    url: '...',
    headers: { ... },
    method: 'POST',
    formData: {
        'username':'name',
        'password':'pass'
    }
}
