Hi,

I need to send an http request using the PATCH method. This isn't listed in the drop-down of methods, but it is listed in the docs if I use msg.method to pass the information to the node.

I tried sending this:

{  
"\_msgid":"242aa003.a449c",  
"payload":"REDACTED",  
"topic":"",  
"method":"PATCH",  
"headers":{"content-type":"application/json;charset=UTF-8"},  
"url":"REDACTED",  
"cookies":{"JSESSIONID":  
{"Path":"/wsg","value":"WRMJK4Ha3AdCxnAQkzoKxKLQ31XbOzCs"}  
}  
}

but I get the message back.

{  
"message":" ["encryption"] object has missing required properties (["method"]); ","errorCode":101,"errorType":"Bad HTTP request"  
}

Am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks

Bruce

as long as the request node is set to use msg.method

then you should be ok - we just do `method = msg.method.toUpperCase();` before using it.
