Hi everyone,

I am facing a issue with a http simple request.  
Doing a request to external websites it works perfectly but doing the same request internally i got a RequestError: Bad response: 503, statusCode: "ERR\_GOT\_REQUEST\_ERROR". The same internal request works perfectly in the browser...

This works before, but after a global update of nodejs, and node-red... I'am now on node 18.13, node-red 3.0.2, it doesn't work anymore...

I spend all day searching for a solution throw the forum, and internet about a solution, nodejs request but nothing works... I clear cookies, flush DNS, configure proxy...

Does anyone is facing the same thing, have an idea ?

Thanks a lot.

.Christian

can you share more info?

- What do you see in node-red error log?
- Can you add a catch node linked to a debug node (debug set to show complete message)
- Does this happen on a system running Node-RED 3.0.2 + nodejs v16 LTS?
- Can export and share a minimal flow?

OK,

I solve it removing the HTTP\_PROXY params from the Environnement. Variables, then uninstall and reinstall NodeJs.

Thanks for your help.
