Full format of POST request to Photon function

[jmosk]

I wish to have a JavaScript running under node.js post a form to a Photon’s function to activate it and return a status.

I have used curl to verify that the photon function is working properly from a call from a remote site. But I am not sure what the format of the header and body should be so I can have the JavaScript create that format.

Using these parts, we will build a servo that you can control from a web page anywhere and monitor the position of the servo too! Here’s a preview of the finished tutorial: [image] There is a coarse adjust slider, two fine adjust buttons, and the current position of the servo is displayed. That…

Considering you're suing Node.js, and there's a library written for it, I'd suggest using that though...
