I am trying to post some json to a URL. I saw various other questions about this on stackoverflow but none of them seemed to be clear or work. This is how far I got, I modified the example on the api docs:

var http = require('http');
var google = http.createClient(80, 'server');
var request = google.request('POST', '/get_stuff',
  {'host': 'sever',  'content-type': 'application/json'});
request.write(JSON.stringify(some_json),encoding='utf8'); //possibly need to escape as well? 
request.end();
request.on('response', function (response) {
  console.log('STATUS: ' + response.statusCode);
  console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(response.headers));
  response.setEncoding('utf8');
  response.on('data', function (chunk) {
    console.log('BODY: ' + chunk);
  });
});

When I post this to the server I get an error telling me that it's not of the json format or that it's not utf8, which they should be. I tried to pull the request url but it is null. I am just starting with nodejs so please be nice.
