I'd like to pass something like the below to an HTTP request node, and have the HTTP node spit out its response including the additional properties:
```auto
msg = {
"payload": "foo - replace this with output from HTTP node",
"topic": "topic",
"some_additional_param": "I want to keep this"
}
```
Is there a non-hacky way to do that ideally without storing values to context then retrieving them later?

Did you just try it to see what happens?

I have never witnessed the HTTP request node do this, are you saying **some\_additional\_param** is no longer present in the **msg** after it hits the request node?
It would have been reported sooo many times if so.
I’m pretty sure i pass other properties though and they remain

I did try it, although seeing these comments I’m going to test again. Perhaps I made a mistake or missed something. Will post back later. Thanks.

Yes that’s what I’m saying although will test again later to confirm (ie possibly to confirm I missed something!)

If it does destroy the **msg** (best to put a debug node directly after - set to entire **msg** ), it will need raising on GitHub, as that’s a pretty tasty bug!

I just tested with a live weather API query, I added an extra msg.test before the http request, the output showed that the msg.test was still there in the output as expected.
