Description

I need access to raw body from incoming requests. It should be very easy to do, just add the following to bindBodyParser.js line 9:

bodyParserParams.verify = function(request, response, buffer) { request.rawBody = buffer.toString(); };

Thanks!

Research direction
The issue requests adding rawBody to incoming requests. The solution is to add a single line in bindBodyParser.js at line 9: bodyParserParams.verify = function(request, response, buffer) { request.rawBody = buffer.toString(); }. This is a small, localized change that adds a raw body property to the request object, making it accessible to subsequent middleware and routes. Since the issue is from 2017 and has no activity, it may need maintainer confirmation on the approach.
