since the package **node-red-contrib-http-request** was removed on Node-Red for Homeassistant on version 11.0 i would like to get one important point back into the regulal http-request node which is the  
**do** or **do not follow redirects** checkbox which existed on the **node-red-contrib-http-request** and was my use-case for using this node.

In my case i call an API which wants me to redirect to an URL that looks like "fenix://127.0.0.1" which usually opens its dedicated app but in the case of node red the **http-request** node throws an error:  
"RequestError: Protocol "fenix:" not supported. Expected "http:""

I would like to have the option to not follow the redirected.

Thanks

Oh, thanks so much. I completely have overseen this. It works for me.
