"Error: connect ECONNREFUSED

[susiloharjo]

I make post request to my api server, post using postman works very well but i can't make post request using node-red, please help need advice

msg.headers = {};
msg.headers={ 
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
};

msg.method = "POST";
msg.url = "http://myserver:5000/datasensor";

msg.payload = {};
msg.payload = {
    "app_key":"41fd-bf8d-f558ee1cb84e",   
    "batt": raw.Bat,
    "level":raw.Level/100,
    "latitude":"0",
    "longitude":"0",
    "count":raw.fCnt,
    "temperature":"0"
 
  };

return msg;

and i got this error message
"Error: connect ECONNREFUSED http://myserver:5000/datasensor"

How is the http request node configured?

It looks to me like your server does not accept/refusing post request with json body from node-red. How was the postman set up?
Try

msg.payload = JSON.stringify(msg.payload);

[susiloharjo]

thats make me confused too, i'm using raw json to my post using postman

[E1cid]

I'ts strange as the request works at this test site to https://ptsv2.com/t/7ybmy-1594053283/post

results can be seen here.

Maybe there is some strange white space on your api key. Try deleting it and typing it in instead of copy and paste.

[susiloharjo]

Ok i'll try it thank you

[susiloharjo]

Or maybe node-red only works with https not http, that is right?

[susiloharjo]

Hi @E1cid i just realize that i run with old node-red, i try to run it using my new raspberry and it works, the question is if i upgrade the node-red it will delete all my setting? and also i run old version npm too can i upgrade it without erase my node-red setting?

[E1cid]

I would think that all you would do is back up your flows and settings json. Then when you upgrade if they need to be replaced then you have a copy.

Thank you, the problem already solved
