Hello,

Example flow:

]

```

This HTTP request does not work (nothing happens). It is supposed to send me a text message via an SMS API.

However, if I try using [reqbin.com](http://reqbin.com), it works perfectly.

And I get the SMS.

Why will this not work via Node-RED?

Add `return msg` to the end of your function
