request.is() function returns null

[wizardnet972]

The post request is not valid.

 const req1 = httpMocks.createRequest({
                url: '/',
                method: 'POST',
                body: {
                    name: 'test',
                },
                headers: {
                    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
                }
            });

            console.log('rr', req1.is('application/x-www-form-urlencoded')); // return null

Found why. I should add transfer-encoding.

like this:

    const req1 = httpMocks.createRequest({
                url: '/',
                method: 'POST',
                body: {
                    name: 'test',          
                },
                headers: {
                    'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
                    'transfer-encoding': 'chunked'
                },

Your are right, but why do we have to set transfer-encoding?

[cringblom]

This is because of the type-is dependancy which is used by the req.is() function From the docs:

null will be returned if the request does not have a body.

To determine if the request has a body it checks for the headers: transfer-encoding or content-length.

Neither of these seem to be set by httpMocks.createRequest({...})
