Hi Dirk,  
Some time ago I have developed the [node-red-contrib-http-logger](https://github.com/bartbutenaers/node-red-contrib-http-logger) node to see what is being send (e.g. by the http-request node). So then you can compare it with the request that your browser sends (which you can see in the 'Network' tabsheet of your browser's developer tools).  
But curl could indeed be sufficient.  
Bart
