title: Getting POST parameters in Node.js, using Express.js
body: <p>I'm trying to get some POST parameters following a request using Express, but I cannot get the data. Here's my <code>app.configure</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>app.configure(function() {
      app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
      app.set('view engine', 'jade');
  
      app.use(express.bodyParser());
      app.use(express.methodOverride());
  
      app.use(gzippo.staticGzip(__dirname + '/public'));
      app.use(gzippo.compress());
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After a POST HTTP request, I try to ouptut it in the console:</p>
  
  <pre><code>console.log(req.body);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The object is always empty.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea on what I forgot?</p>
