I want to create static file and get data from static file while using node-red.  
Here is the path that i created for static file: /data/static

Here is the configuration for **settings.js**. I just out commented the htttpStatic: line. I gave the path what i created.

But the error i get is:

Cannot GET /data/static/test.html

Am i giving the false path for **httpStatic:** maybe?

The file won't be served at the same URL as it's real path. Try just `/test.html`

It worked. Since i use the http request node to get the content it stays as "requesting".Can i ask, whats the reason is that node stays as requesting?
