POST request fails in Astro.js API route about ky

[sholladay]

Your code looks fine to me.

We can narrow down the problem a little bit if you try each of these and tell me what happens:

1. Without .json()

const response = await ky.post( 'http://127.0.0.1:8055/auth/login', {
                json: {
                    email: body.email,
                    password: body.password
                },
            } )

2. Using body instead of json option

const response = await ky.post( 'http://127.0.0.1:8055/auth/login', {
                body: JSON.stringify({
                    email: body.email,
                    password: body.password
                }),
            } ).json()

3. Using body instead of json option and without .json()

const response = await ky.post( 'http://127.0.0.1:8055/auth/login', {
                body: JSON.stringify({
                    email: body.email,
                    password: body.password
                }),
            } )

I don't know if Director requires a Content-Type: application/json header or if it just assumes it, but you might need to add that header to snippets 2 & 3 above since the body option is being used.

Can you try out https://github.com/sindresorhus/ky/releases/tag/v1.1.1 ?

Pardon for the belated reply.

The issue was related to node version that handled headers incorrectly. Upgrading node fixed it.

Many thanks for support and time!

I feel this issue resembles mine as well.

I am using this library on NodeJS v20.9, and found out that sending a .post() request using this library didn't work. The headers was always set to text/plan.
I tried forcefully setting the content-type header to application/json, but it didn't change. Not sure why even after setting the headers it's getting passed as text/plain 🤔

To give more context, my setup includes Sveltekit and a Fastify Backend, both running on NodeJS v20.9.
The issue doesn't happen when I replace it with axios. but I can replicate it with NodeJs's native fetch function as well.

Have you tried setting content-length manually? See #514
