How to access request body in "onResourceRequested" callback in PhantomJS?

Question

I would like to access the request body of HTTP POST requests in the callback registered with onResourceRequested (I didn't find it in the documentation).

I would like to do something like this:

page.onResourceRequested = function(requestData, networkRequest) {
  var body = networkRequest.body // how to do that ?
  console.log(body)
}

How can I access the body of the request in the onResourceRequested callback ?

Is it an Ajax request? If so, then [my answer here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/24561614/1816580) should give you some workarounds (PhantomJS and CasperJS are functionally equivalent in this case). — Artjom B., Dec 20 '15 at 16:05
Yes, it is an `Ajax` request. Thank you for pointing me out at the answer. — Michael, Dec 20 '15 at 16:08

The request body of POST requests are stored in the postData attribute of requestData object. You can retrieve it like so:

page.onResourceRequested = function(requestData, networkRequest) {
  var body = networkRequest.postData
  console.log(body)
}

To note, there doesn't seem to currently be a way to retrieve the request body for any other request methods such as PUT or PATCH.
