Hi,  
i'm try send http command to squeezebox (logitech media server) for volume change,  
in browser this work perfect - change volume and return server statuss (playlist, curent song etc.)

command:

```auto
192.168.88.115:9002/status.htm?p0=mixer&p1=volume&p2={{{msg.payload}}}B10&player=b8:27:eb:88:cc:fb

```

"msg.payload" is volume setting - "%5" is 5 step up, and "-5" is 5 step down.  
if use "http request node" POST than get response from server and nothing, if use GET than get response, and volume just droping - no metter using "%5" for increase or "—5" for decreasing volume.

flow what i use:

```auto

```

i dont need server response, just volume control. From mqtt i can get command parameters (up or down) and NodeRed just need post http request to LMS server.  
What i'm doing wrong? Maybe is some method how i can see outgoing http request from NodeRed, in debug window i see only response...  
Thanks

There is a node for Squeezebox, I do not know if this one works.  
[https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-squeezebox](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-squeezebox)

There was a forum entry over this node

Here a possible solution:

> I was trying to add my squeezeboxes to NodeRED, and some commands like pause, status etc do work already. I would like to have a dedicated webstream played after pushing a button but i do get a "socket hang up" and i have no clue why: according to http://tutoriels.domotique-store.fr/content/54/95/fr/api-logitech-squeezebox-server-\_-player-http.html the command should be ok.
