I can touch my code when http request look like this:
POST /init HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 1343
The http request looks like this:
POST init HTTP/1.1 // what different is : the path without a '/'
Host: 127.0.0.1
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 1343
My node.js code is:
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
console.log('sth')
}).listen(3000);
Unfortunately, I cannot change the code issuing the init request.
Please, see this question: Do HTTP paths have to start with a slash?
Apparently, yes, the starting slash is required for it to be a valid HTTP request.
As this is technically invalid HTTP, most libraries won't support it.
It seems that Apache tolerates paths without slash... maybe using it as a reverse proxy as a workaround?
Another possibility would be to fork the HTTP server library and modify it to tolerate paths without slashes... you may want to look at this post: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/349656/implement-a-http-server-on-top-of-nodejs-tcp-apis-for-learning-purposes
