    token_secret: '...',
    session_handle: '...'
  }
}, function (err, res, body) {
  var result = require('querystring').parse(body)
  // assert.equal(typeof result, 'object')
})

OAuth2 Refresh Token

    is_public: 1

    description: 'Sent on ' + new Date(),
    is_public: 1,
    photo:fs.createReadStream('cat.png')
  },

}, function (err, res, body) {
  // assert.equal(typeof body, 'object')
})

Streams

POST data

Use Request as a Writable stream to easily POST Readable streams (like files, other HTTP requests, or otherwise).

TL;DR: Pipe a Readable Stream onto Request via:

READABLE.pipe(request.post(URL));

A more detailed example:

var fs = require('fs')
  , path = require('path')
  , http = require('http')
  , request = require('request')
  , TMP_FILE_PATH = path.join(path.sep, 'tmp', 'foo')
;

// write a temporary file:
fs.writeFileSync(TMP_FILE_PATH, 'foo bar baz quk\n');

http.createServer(function(req, res) {
  console.log('the server is receiving data!\n');
  req
    .on('end', res.end.bind(res))
    .pipe(process.stdout)
  ;
}).listen(3000).unref();

fs.createReadStream(TMP_FILE_PATH)
  .pipe(request.post('http://127.0.0.1:3000'))
;
