I'm trying to set the right parameters for http request, but I'm not able to do it.
The query with curl is this:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET -d '{"auth\_key":"xf79rra", "payload":null}' [https://retepaiot.it/sensordata/0018b1213](https://retepaiot.it/sensordata/0018b1213)
and it works.
I think I made somethings wrong passing auth\_key and payload (they are not via URL).
I use the function to prepare the message:
_msg.headers = {_
- "Content-Type": "application/json"\*
- } \*
_msg.payload = {};_
\*msg.payload = {auth\_key:"xf79rra", \*
- payload:null};\*
_return msg;_
and http request for URL:
_[https://retepaiot.it/sensordata/0018b1213](https://retepaiot.it/sensordata/0018b1213)_
the returned message is:
{ "message": "Failed to decode JSON object: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)"}
Can I have some help?
Thanks,
Fabrizio

Can you post the function code using the preformatted text block:
```auto
msg.headers = { "your": "code" };
```

The problem is that the method GET, called from http request, doesn't manage the payload (body on http). Simply it ignores it (this is conforms to the protocol).
The REST server isn't fully compliant with the GET method.
For now, the unique solution I've found was to modify the node http request. Best if I rewrite it into a new node.
