 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/e/e/eec2a1de960c1053e0f8384335fa6e3991f1b3b5.png)

I want to pass the url using the msg.payload to this node as we do with http request node but in this url is not acceptable via function node or change node.

Any one can suggest the suitable way please

Does that node have built in help on the sidebar?  
What does it say?

By the looks of whatever that node is (you didnt provide a link to it in the flows library so I cant check it out) - but it looks to be a fork of the official HTTP Request node so I assume it uses mustache syntax in the UTL too - have you tried entering `{{{msg.url}}}` or `{{{url}}}` or `{{{payload}}}`?

Hi Steve thanks for replying ok let me try with the way you said. this node is used for multipart form data to get form based api to work

> **[node-red-contrib-send-multipart-formdata](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-send-multipart-formdata)**

> NodeRed node for sending HTTP POST requests with multipart/formdata body

this the link I get the node

Looking at the nodes src code, it does not support dynamic URL - only fixed as entered on the form...

> <https://github.com/kirillbunin/node-red-contrib-send-multipart-formdata/blob/master/http-send-multipart-formdata.js#L37-L44>

You have choices...

1. use the built in http request node.
2. raise an issue on the git repository & wait for this to be implemented.

### Short Version...

The HTTP Request node can do this.

  

### Long Version...

Why did it not work?

What problems did you encounter?

Did you open a thread on the forum about your problem with HTTP Request node?

  

> [@nit-cyber](#):

HTTP Request node can do this

HTTP Request node can do this

>
> All requests must use the form-data option

HTTP Request node can do this (set header multipart/form-data)

> [@nit-cyber](#):
>
> By default, responses will be in XML

Fine!

> [@nit-cyber](#):
>
> For JSON responses include in the header _ **Accept: application/json** _

HTTP Request node can do this (set appropriate header)

> [@nit-cyber](#):
>
> Response status codes basically follow RFC7231

So use change node AFTER http request to check the status code & act accordingly.

I have two workflows and need to merge in one  
one workflow gives the uploading file urls  
other workflow will give new url for redirect  
both will merge and make a file to be uploaded at end point
