I try to control a Shelly Plus 1PM from within Node-Red via a http request node. This node looks like this:  
Method: GET  
URL: [http://192.168.xxx.xxx/rpc/Switch.GetConfig?id=0](http://192.168.xxx.xxx/rpc/Switch.GetConfig?id=0)  
Payload: ignore  
Basic Authentication: Type=Digest, username und password are filled in

Whatever I try, I always get 401. The only request that works is with this URL:  
[http://192.168.xxx.xxx/rpc/Schedule.List](http://192.168.xxx.xxx/rpc/Schedule.List)

Can someone help?

PS: A curl request for [http://192.168.xxx.xxx/rpc/Switch.GetConfig?id=0](http://192.168.xxx.xxx/rpc/Switch.GetConfig?id=0) works, so there must be a problem in the http request node.

This is the curl command I use now in an exec node instead of a http request node which works:

> curl -s --digest -u : [http://192.168.xxx.xxx/rpc/Switch.Set\?id=0\&on=true\&toggle\_after=7200](http://192.168.xxx.xxx/rpc/Switch.Set%5C?id=0%5C&on=true%5C&toggle_after=7200)
