I've not had much experience with endpoints, but I'm trying to listen for a POST request, after creating an endpoint like this;

![endpoint](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/8/c/8c7f764dfe6fccd634ac1c4d1de32014b1e1dd21.jpeg)

```auto
[{"id":"137645fc.bfb2ba","type":"debug","z":"9a54d43d.46e888","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"true","targetType":"full","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":470,"y":840,"wires":[]},{"id":"ee886b3f.9827e8","type":"http in","z":"9a54d43d.46e888","name":"","url":"/receipt","method":"get","upload":false,"swaggerDoc":"","x":240,"y":840,"wires":[["8151fb.fd829e08","137645fc.bfb2ba"]]},{"id":"8151fb.fd829e08","type":"http response","z":"9a54d43d.46e888","name":"","statusCode":"","headers":{},"x":460,"y":780,"wires":[]}]

```

and have supplied the url as `https://myserver.co.uk:2086/receipt`

I'm assured from the originator that the Post request is being sent to that url, but nothing is ever received.

Have I done this correctly?

The 2086 port is open, and both the editor & dashboard can be accessed from outside my local network on the `https://myserver.co.uk:2086` base url.  
I have not added any security to the endpoints.

Oh dear! my rationale was that it they are sending the msg, they would 'Post'.  
Whilst I wanted to receive it, so the node would be set to 'Get'.

Obviously wrong!

But yes if I set the node to Post, then I receive the msg OK.  
Thanks
