HttpTaskHandler payload is empty

[Rajesh G]

Hi, I am following

https://github.com/googleapis/nodejs-tasks/tree/main/samples

I have deployed the above to a remote server.

server.js - I am using /log_payload to test as both an appengineTaskHandler and HttpTaskHandler

If I am using it as an AppengineTaskHandler from createTask.js - It is all fine.

If I am using  'xyz.appspot.com/log_payload' as a url in HttpTaskHandler example - createHttpTask.js, then the payload is coming as empty.

Hi, 

Looking at this post with a similar symptom, it appears that the root cause could be a missing HTTP header for the content-type, which should be set to either "application/octet-stream" or "application/json" depending on the type of content you are passing in your request. 

Based on the above, I suggest adding the header for content-type if it's currently missing then trying again. A code sample can be seen in our documentation and was also provided in this user's comment.
