var doPost = function(path,body){ //jsonBody: An object containing request data jsonBody = JSON.stringify(body); //headers: An object containing request headers var headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Content-Length': jsonBody.length }; //host: A domain name or IP address of the server to issue the request to.

With http.request() one must always call req.end() to signify that you're done with the request - even if there is no data being written to the request body };
