node.js - Having issues with integrating passport-local with restify -

my sample application follows

var util = require("util") restify = require("restify"),     q = require("q"),     _ = require("lodash");  //create server var server = restify.createserver({     name: "testauth" }); server.use(restify.queryparser()); server.use(restify.bodyparser());  //initialize passport var passport = require("passport"),     localstrategy = require("passport-local").strategy;  server.use(passport.initialize());  passport.use(new localstrategy(     function(username, password, done) {        return done(null, "test")     }));  //session setup  server.post("/login", function(req, res, next) {     passport.authenticate("local", function(err, user, info) {         console.log(util.format("%s logged in!", user))          res.send(200);         return next();     })(req, res, next); });  server.listen(8080); 

when make request /login?username=test&password=test hits authenticate callback "user" false. when use

server.post("/login", passport.authenticate("local"); 

i bad request response restify.

this passport documentation page shows, in "custom callback" section @ bottom, that, way using passport in main snippet, request method should 'get', not 'post'. copy here code snippet page:

app.get('/login', function(req, res, next) {   passport.authenticate('local', function(err, user, info) {     if (err) { return next(err); }     if (!user) { return res.redirect('/login'); }     req.login(user, function(err) {       if (err) { return next(err); }       return res.redirect('/users/' + user.username);     });   })(req, res, next); }); 

that page has other examples of how passport can used, including "local" variant attempted.
