Node.js: Send http request in win1251 charset

Question

How can I send the following query in win1251 charset?

var getData = querystring.stringify({
        type: "тест", note: "тест1"
    }),
    options = {
        host: config.host,
        path: config.path + '?' + getData,
        method: 'GET'
    };

http.request(options, function (res) {...}).end();

You can not send anything "in a certain charset". You can only encode it in that charset (to binary) and then send it in the chosen protocol (as binary!). Then, the receiving server can be given information to decode the binary in the correct charset to a string. You need to provide more info about your given restraints and desired outcome. — Igor Skoric, Jan 04 '16 at 13:13

I think this snippet can help you

request({ 
uri: website_url,
method: 'GET',
encoding: 'binary'
}, function (error, response, body) {
    body = new Buffer(body, 'binary');
    conv = new iconv.Iconv('windows-1251', 'utf8');
    body = conv.convert(body).toString();
     }
});

OK, i think find something useful :)

You can use above utility like this

// Suppose gbkEncodeURIComponent function already exists,
// it can encode string with `gbk` encoding
querystring.stringify({ w: '中文', foo: 'bar' }, null, null,
  { encodeURIComponent: win2unicode })
// returns
'w=%D6%D0%CE%C4&foo=bar'
