ZAF request proxy can send form data?

I'd like to send form data from ZAF client using proxy.

I want to do like this.

curl -X POST "https://external.server/" -H "X-API-Key: ..." -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d 'test=1234'

but, if I do the following code, the parameter was converted to query string.

var options = {
    url: "https://external.server/",
    method: 'POST',
    secure: true,
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
      'X-API-Key': '{{setting.api_key}}'
    },
    data: "test=1234"
};
client.request(options);

The actual network request on browser had weird parameter.

POST https://mydomain.zendesk.com/proxy/v2/apps/secure/https://external.server/?0=t&1=e&2=s&3=t&4==&5=1&6=2&7=3&8=4

How is it possible?

      Hello Megumi,

      Could you please specify the content type in contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', instead of headers?

      If it doesn't help, could you share more info from the Network tab about this request? Maybe it would help find out the issue. Because I think we can use form data in the ZAF request proxy.

      Thanks Andriy,

      I changed content type to contentType in param, but it doesn't help. Failed in the same result.

      var options = {
      url: "https://d856-2409-11-4260-bd00-7deb-ca46-32cb-c21f.ngrok.io/",
      method: 'POST',
      secure: true,
      contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
      headers: {
      'X-API-Key': '{{setting.api_key}}'
      },
      data: "test=1234"
      };
      client.request(options);

      Network tab is below.

      Address and response header. The decoded url is "https://con-eclect-nakamura.zendesk.com/proxy/v2/apps/secure/https://d856-2409-11-4260-bd00-7deb-ca46-32cb-c21f.ngrok.io/?0=t&1=e&2=s&3=t&4==&5=1&6=2&7=3&8=4".

      Request header:

       

      Could you find something wrong?

      Hello Megumi,

      I think the issue is in method:"POST". IT should be type: "POST" instead.

      var options = {
      url: "https://d856-2409-11-4260-bd00-7deb-ca46-32cb-c21f.ngrok.io/",
      type: 'POST',
      secure: true,
      contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
      headers: {
      'X-API-Key': '{{setting.api_key}}'
      },
      data: "test=1234"
      };
      client.request(options);
