Send plain text over XMLHttpRequest to Express server


I noticed that you tried plain/text, but that is incorrect, the correct header is text/plain.

from MDN

  • using the POST method and setting the enctype attribute to application/x-www-form-urlencoded (default);
  • using the POST method and setting the enctype attribute to text/plain;
  • using the POST method and setting the enctype attribute to multipart/form-data;
  • using the GET method (in this case the enctype attribute will be ignored).
