Hello to everyone,
in the HTTP Request Node, if the method is set by msg.method, the option to choose handling of msg.payload (append to query params / append to body / ignore) disappears. As discussed [in this post](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/http-request-set-payload-to-append-query-string-when-method-is-set-via-msg-method/65675) the recommended solution is to just append the query parameters to the msg.url beforehand. This is a solution, but it diminishes the flexibility of the http request node. Is this really the best way to go?
