I am using the http request node to get information on a domoticz sensor.  
The output is sent into a debug node.

If I use a browser then I get a complete message with all the info but the debug node only shows partial information in the payload and misses out the data I actually need.

Any ideas please?

the debug only shows the first 1000 chars by default - but the data is still there on the message - you can set the debug node to also send to console and you can see the full data there if you need to.

It is not that. I get the same in the console.

Some data is missing half way in the message.Below I will post the whole output from my browser.  
Node red http does not give me the payload:result data ???

When pasting things in like a log use the `</>` option to cause it to format.

That said, how would anyone (but you) know there is any data missing?

Apologies. Now corrected.

I get everything shown under payload except the "result: "  
Maybe some limitation with the http node?

What I get is

```auto

Is that all in msg payload? It looks ike `payload` is an object, does it expand in the debug?

What data are you missing ?  
What do you see when you use curl on the commandline with the same url from the http request node ?

Yes msg.payload is an object. However msg,payload.result (and all items contained within) is totally missing from the debug window.

Above I have first posted the same http request from a browser and with this I get the full object including the "result" property.

can you provide your flow? (use the `</>` code tag so it will format correctly)

@bakman2  
I have tried curl and I get all the information - exactly the same as from a browser shown above.  
Node red debug misses out the "payload.result" property for some reason .

I have now solved my problem by using MQTT instead but I would love to know why http is not working.

Looking at the output [you posted above](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/debug-data-missing/23963/3), it has payload.result

Can you post the output of the curl vs the debug output (make sure to set the debug output to `complete msg object`)

Yes that is weird 🤖

Did you set the http request node to output json ? Do you see a difference (ie. result array) when it returns a utf-8 string ?

yes I tried both json and utf-8 outputs. Also json parser node. Still same - no result property.
