fix: forward POST body and content-type header#7
Conversation
form submissions were completely broken — the request body was not forwarded to the target, and the content-type header was missing from the forwarded headers list. every search form, login form, and comment form on the internet was sending empty POST requests. fixes: - forward request.body for non-GET/HEAD requests - add content-type to the forwarded headers list Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Changes:
- Forward request bodies for non-GET/HEAD methods in the proxy fetch call.
- Include
content-typein the allowlist of forwarded request headers. - Add an integration test that validates POST form data reaches the upstream.

This test silently passes when httpbin is unavailable (if (resp.status !== 200) return;), which means CI can go green without actually validating POST body/header forwarding. Prefer making the test deterministic (mock the upstream / use a local stub), or at least mark it as explicitly skipped (e.g., Vitest it.runIf(...) / this.skip()) rather than returning early so the missing coverage is visible.
