   Hi there.

   My fork of node.native adds the ability to get the HTTP body (the body of your POST).

   I think you could get the HTTP method by adding code in client_context::parse which will get the method from the http_parser - this has a method attribute which is set in http_parser_execute(). http_parser is one of node.native's submodules.

   Cheers,

   Seb

   Didn't get around to it; TBH: I have moved away from C++ now for my web development, namely due to:

   • Segfault when using JSON() in routes.h
   • Linker errors when separating routes.h into routes.h and routes.cc
   • No built-in access to HTTP verbs
   • CMake build not included

   Fair enough - you have to do a bit of hacking to use node.native, and that won't appeal to everyone. If you could close this issue, that'd be good.
