Hi there,  
I'm trying to make http request to a static IP server (web browser available); I'm having this reply  
"

## 404 Error
The requested resource cannot be found."

Do anyone already faced this reply and know how to deal with or why I get that?

Thanks for your help

Below my flow in the likely case I did a mistake!

What happens if, on the machine running node red, you put into a web browser the URL  
`http://192.168.1.12/body.html`

The error is really clear that the endpoint cannot be found.

So "/body.html" is not reachable on the web server at 192.168.1.12 port 80.

The web server has responded so you have a network path to it.

The photo below should replies both

if I tried to reach body.html via the flow below I get error:404; next step would be try this with other web browser server... but I'm still searching the reason why with this is not properly working.

Unfortunately your flow isn't currently importable.Please read the following post [How to share code or flow json](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506) and then edit the above message. ( moved to #general as this isn't sharing a completed project)

I think you will need to check the results from the browser again to see if the web page is checking for something hidden like a cookie or some kind of header.

Remember that a request from Node-RED is not as "intelligent" as a request from a browser which has lots of clever things built in to make life easy for users.
