request is now deprecated. It is recommended you use an alternative
In no particular order and dreadfully incomplete:

native HTTP/S, const https = require('https');
node-fetch
axios
got
superagent
bent
make-fetch-happen
unfetch
tiny-json-http
needle
urllib
Stats comparision Some code examples

Original answer:
This gets a lot easier if you use the request library.


var request = require('request');

request.post(
    'http://www.yoursite.com/formpage',
    { json: { key: 'value' } },
    function (error, response, body) {
        if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
            console.log(body);
        }
    }
);
