Hello everybody,  
I am new at node-red and would like to access the information of a password protected web application. I already managed successfully to login the application with the HTTP GET method. Now I think I need the session id to access some further websites within this application - but I do not know how to manage this. I checked the cookbook for this, but the explanation for extraction the session id is to short for me to understand. Is there any help about this topic???

Check out the full data you get back from your GET request - you will need to change your debug node to show the full msg. In the output you will find the returned http headers including cookies and authorization headers. You will need to grab these and add them to any further requests.
