im integrating against ollama and need to read "node red application/x-ndjson" stream from ollama.
tested this with the core http-request node but it refuses to stream the response. i just get a timeout. or everything at once.
tested various other contrib nodes but could just find ones that only support GET request. i need to POST.
Anyone have a good solution to this?
i could always create a external app for this but prefair to have it in node-red.

~~http-in and http-out nodes do not support http streaming.~~
~~The http-out node will close the connection after it has sent the first message it receives from the http-in node.~~
Sorry, misread.
But the same answer applies, the http-request node does not support HTTP streaming.
You can adjust the timeout in the `settings.js` with the `httpRequestTimeout` field or `msg.requestTimeout`

Hi @svefro
Try sending a RAW request via the `TCP Request` Node
- Send a valid (Correctly formatted) `HTTP` request using the `TCP Request` Node
(keeping the connection open - `Never - Keep connection open`)
RAW HTTP Request example (Send to a `TCP Request` Node)
```auto
/* Adjust accordingly */
const HTTPRequest = [
'POST /SOME/URI HTTP/1.1',
'Host: XXXXX:XXXXX',
'Content-Type: application/json'
'Accept: application/x-ndjson\r\n'
'{SomeJSON}'
]
msg.payload = HTTPRequest.join('\r\n')
return msg
```
This, I believe should give you streaming (untested)
I dont know the protocol, so adjust the request according to its requirements (`POST` v `GET`, with a body etc etc) - might need to check my code - it was a quick write

Thanks for pointing me to a tcp node. 🙂
i used this (got badrequest without content length):
```auto
const body = JSON.stringify({ model: "deepseek-r1:8b" });
const HTTPRequest = [
'POST /api/pull HTTP/1.1',
'Host: 192.168.1.100',
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Accept: application/x-ndjson',
'Content-Length: ' + Buffer.byteLength(body),
'', // required blank line
body
];
msg.payload = HTTPRequest.join('\r\n');
return msg;
```
and it worked 🙂
but in the meantime i tested using curl in an exec node and got some strange errors:
when using exec mode it works as expected, but in spawn mode i get a bunch of errors:
any idea what is causing this??
Anyway i'll stick with the raw http request way. Thanks again 🙂
