title: Meteor - Parse Data from Incoming HTTP Request
body: <p>For outgoing HTTP requests (using meteor.http.call) I can define params and/or data.  The results are then available (via results.content).</p>
  
  <p>How do I access and parse the body/contents/data of incoming HTTP requests?</p>
  
  <p>Using iron-router, I have got as far as this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Router.map(function () {
  this.route('httpTest', {
  path: '/httpTest',
  action: function () {
    var request = this.request;
    var response = this.response;      
    console.log('request_body: '+ request.body);
    // request.body does not work.  what should it be????
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>N.B. I understand that I CAN access query parameters, but I want to access form data and/or json data from the body of an incoming http request.</p>
