I have a flow that implements a proxy for a secure API. It has a HTTP In, which takes a bunch of parameters. The flow modifies the inputs, adds an Auth Token and calls some other HTTP request node to perform the task. The flow receives the output and then replies to the original request with the answer.
[HTTP-IN]-[function and Change nodes]-[httprequest]-[function and Change nodes]-[http-response-out]
I have a Change node which moves the orginial msg.res and msg.req objects to backups, clears the msg.headers and builds new headers for the HTTP request. Then, after the HTTP request (which works fine), the flow stores the msg.payload, does a msg = {}, restores the msg.res and msg.req, builds a new msg.payload with the results, and then wires to the HTTP response/out node. I didn't mess with msg._msgid
This worked for many months with a spurious
msg : error
"Error: Callback called multiple times"
Recently, I restructured some of the flows and now it is completely failing with a
msg : error
"TypeError: Illegal invocation"
and the downstream mobile app never gets the response.
I thought it was due to Node-RED v1.x / v2.x http node migration from requests to got. I fall back to Node-RED 1.3.6 but the error persists.
A Catch node report two errors:
