Hi guys,
The http request node seems to be timing out if at least the following properties are added to the message :
- item
- items
As soon as I remove them the call goes through, as soon as they are back in the message object the call fails with TIMEOUT error.
Are these properties used internally in this node ? If so why isn't it documented ?
If not, why isn't the node using only the properties it needs (method, url, headers, requestTimeout, payload), as stated in the documentation.
Thanks in advance for your help
Kind regards
Mathieu

Can you provide a small example ? Thanks
