I don't see request body/data when I am using axios GET method in browser but I see in server/node.

[mar1n]

I know that Axios dropped sending body/data for GET method.
So when I do in handler:
const { firstName } = await req.json();
This doesn't work in browser.
I have this error message:
SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input
But when I am lunching test in server/node environment(JEST) everything is OK I am receiving body/data.
Does any know why?

Hi, @mar1n. Can you please provide some additional context around the reproduction of this behavior?

• What version of MSW are you using?
• What version of Axios are you using?
• Do you have a chance to set up a reproduction repository or sandbox for this?

I think the difference you experience may be related to how Axios works in the browser and Node.js. In the browser, Axios uses XMLHttpRequest to represent requests, while in Node.js it uses http.ClientRequest. Those are two completely different request implementations that don't follow the same specification. This may be the reason why the behavior differs for you.

• MSW version: 0.44.2
• Axios: 0.27.2
  Your answer is enough for me I suspected that node is using something else.
  I will stop using in Axios/Get body/data and will changed to parameters.
