title: Post array/object with the Request module
body: <p>I'm trying to make http post request using the <a href="https://github.com/mikeal/request" rel="nofollow">request</a> module</p>
  
  <pre><code>text = 'some data';
  
  request.post('http://example.com/read', {form:{data: text}});
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works fine for a simple string, but I need to be able to send an array or object.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to read the array/object in the post handler the data property is empty.</p>
  
  <p>What's going here? Your help will be much appreciated.</p>
