# Add a POST body-parser middleware to the internal WebApp server

Sometimes you might want to accept url-encoded form POST requests on your Meteor WebApp server, without using Iron Router, such as in the code below:

```javascript

var Fiber = Npm.require('fibers');

WebApp.connectHandlers

.use('/mail', function (req, res) {

    var that = this;

    Fiber(function () {

        var body = req.body;

        ...

        

    }).run();

});

```

This unfortunately does not work out of the box, because there is no body-parser middleware included in the standard Meteor WebApp configuration.

#### How do you make it work? 

Install the `pbastowski:body-parser` package and the above example will work as shown.

### Install:

    meteor add pbastowski:body-parser
