I'm trying to send some data in NodeJS from one localhost server to another, but I'm getting a nasty error. On the server that receives the request it appears the request goes through because I'm getting an object logged to the terminal there, except its properties are null (they're supposed to be set to the properties in the req body, or null).

I get the error even if I try with Axios, which tells me that it’s not an issue with http.request or Axios. If anyone could help me understand what's going on I'd appreciate it.

Error:

    events.js:377
          throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
          ^
    
    Error: write EPROTO 8669511168:error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number:../deps/openssl/openssl/ssl/record/ssl3_record.c:332:

    {
      errno: -100,
      code: 'EPROTO',
      syscall: 'write'
    }

The project sending the request looks like this:

Resources file

    const http = require('http');
    const options = {
        host: 'localhost',
        port: 3000,
        path: '/create',
        method: 'POST',
        header: {
            'Content-Type':'application/json'
        }
    }

    const body = {
        inquiryTotal: ‘20.00’
    }
    const stringifiedBody = JSON.stringify(body)
    
    module.exports.Inquiries = {
        create: () => {
            req = http.request(options, (res) => {
                console.log(res);
            });
            req.write(stringifiedBody); // this is an object that's already stringified to JSON
            req.end();

            /*axios.post('localhost:3000/v1/orders/create', {
            orderTotal: '21.00'
        }).then(res => {
            console.log(res);
        }).catch(err => {
            console.log(err);
        })*/
        }
    }

Server sending request:

    const resource = require('./lib/resource');
    // create server code
    resource.Inquiries.create;
