Is it possible to get the data of a post request from within the http.createServer callback?

http.createServer(function(req, res) {
    if (req.method == "GET") {
        // do get stuff
    } else if (req.method == "POST") {
        // save post data to sd-card
    }
}).listen(port);

Not yet - I just created an issue for this though: espruino/Espruino#226

You can hack around it by looking at the actual data received though:

function pageHandler(req, res) {
  console.log(req["dRcv"].substr(req["dRcv"].indexOf("\r\n\r\n")+4));
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
  res.write('<html><body><form method="post"><textarea name="foo"></textarea><input type="submit"></form></body></html>');
  res.end();
}

However it is an internal variable so it may change in the future.
