Hi, I'm new to node red and I found it very entertaining. I'm having trouble using a get because I get this error. I would appreciate your help.

my first reaction also when i started using node-red .. its makes programming fun 😉

The error is coming from rejectUnauthorized being a string instead of a boolean ? .. switch to the correct type

The `got` library we use is _very_ picky about the data types it receives. Node-RED should be much more forgiving. In other words, whilst the suggested fix is correct for now, we should update the node to do the type conversion where possible.

Opened [HTTP Request: handle `rejectUnauthorized` as string value · Issue #5171 · node-red/node-red · GitHub](https://github.com/node-red/node-red/issues/5171) to keep track
