I'd like to try to connect web-hooks to node-red (for instance when a new google form is submitted). For this, I tried to use the `http in` node. I configured an URL `/foo` (if it matters, I run node-red behind a nginx proxy with basic , but when I run `curl -X POST "https://my-server/foo" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"mymessage": "data"}'`, I get an error (in curl's terminal) `Unauthorized`.

Am I doing anything wrong? Any idea how I could authorize any client to connect without password?

**EDIT** : oh wait, stupid me, I just enabled by mistake `httpNodeAuth`. That being said, when I do a curl request, node-red receives the message, but curl stays open until it times out. Any idea why no answer is sent?

**EDIT2** : problem solved, just needed to connect a `http out` node right after the `http in` with a 202 status code. Problem solved!
