Hi,  
i can pars a website and extract the url of an picture.  
I can download the picture when i copy the url manual, paste it in the http request node URL field, set output to binary buffer and get the picture.  
What i want to do is pass the url via msg.payload to the http request node, but then i get the error "RequestError: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND {msg.payload}"  
A debug node reports the url as "[https://img.kleinezeitung.at/public/incoming/j650iy-David-Alaba-bangt-um-seinen-EM-Einsatz/alternates/BASE\_LANDSCAPE/David%20Alaba%20bangt%20um%20seinen%20EM-Einsatz](https://img.kleinezeitung.at/public/incoming/j650iy-David-Alaba-bangt-um-seinen-EM-Einsatz/alternates/BASE_LANDSCAPE/David%20Alaba%20bangt%20um%20seinen%20EM-Einsatz)"  
Where is my fault?  
All hints are welcome!

You pass the url in msg.url to the http request node, not msg.payload
