Hi,  
I want to query a webserver to get a json file.  
For that I have to request the webserver via http GET method and the json query string has to be in the body. It work perfect when I use postman, but I try to use www request, http request but it doesn't work.  
Wireshark showing me that the body isn't send to the webserver.  
Like in the node description I put the body in the msg.payload.  
Has somebody an idea how I get it running

best regards  
Uwe

solved it. It was a little bit confusin. It was called a get in the development console from elastic but in real it was a the http post method. With post it works.

GET only uses the URL with query parameters. Anything with a body will be something else.
