Why do you create an empty array here and then push to it here and then have to unbuffer it all here.

Instead I'm pretty sure it works (I just tested it I think) if you do

let body =''
...
body += chunk

and then you don't need to do the .toString() stuff, as I think when you do the += it auto converts or something

mmm, was just lifted from https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/anatomy-of-an-http-transaction/#request-body
So could be better practice, but I don't really know why and I do agree with you

[mattlub]

maybe it's better because you only perform a concatenation once instead of adding to a string variable again and again. (?)

[mattlub]

we'll keep it 😄

[m4v15]

But why is it better to add to an array variable over and over again but not a string (data.push())

[m4v15]

But yeah I don't know what is better, your way is more explicit as my way does the conversion at the += automatically

any thoughts @des-des
