Hi everyone,

I'm trying to post payload to API using HTTP request where i'm trying to pass query params as shown below but it is not getting appended with URL

```auto
msg.query = {
    accountID: 'XXXX',
    apiKey: '6dxxxxxxxxxxx',
    edgeEUI: '91xxxxxxxxxxxxx'
};

return msg;

```

HTTP request node configuration is as shown below

Node output:

```auto
{
    "_msgid": "5d42df85bbc5ec94",
    "payload": {
        "statusCode": 400,
        "message": "Bad Request",
        "description": "Missing parameters"
    },
    "statusCode": 400,
    "responseUrl": "https://api.fogwing.net/api/v1/iothub/postPayload/withApiKey",
    "redirectList": [],
    "retry": 0,
    "query": {
        "accountID": "XXXX",
        "apiKey": "6dxxxxxxxxxxx",
        "edgeEUI": "91xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    },
    "headers": {
        "server": "nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu)",
        "date": "Sun, 14 May 2023 12:16:42 GMT",

Try this way, I have working nodes setup like this

```auto
msg.headers = {
   'accountID': 'XXXX',
   'apiKey': '6dxxxxxxxxxxx',
   'edgeEUI': '91xxxxxxxxxxxxx'
};

return msg;

```
