HTTP-Request reports "invalid payload"?

[Gawan]

Hi,
I pass the following payload from a function node to my http-request node:

msg.payload = "&value=100&format=json";

The setup looks like this:

Unfortunately I get an "invalid payload" error as you can see in the debugging tab.

Any idea why ?

Hi,

the 'append msg.payload as qs params' assumes that msg.payload will be an object of key/value pairs that it will convert to a query string for you.

So if you use:

msg.payload  = {
   value: 100,
   format: "json"
}

it will then do the right thing.
