Axios is a popular HTTP client for Node.js and the browser. It automatically sets the Content-Length header for POST requests with a body. However, it is a full-fledged HTTP client and not just middleware.
The request package is another HTTP client for Node.js that automatically handles the Content-Length header for requests with a body. Like axios, it is a complete HTTP client and not just middleware.
Node-fetch is a lightweight module that brings window.fetch to Node.js. It also automatically sets the Content-Length header for requests with a body. It is more lightweight compared to axios and request.
