HI everbody,

I getting crazy... 😃

I have some HTTP Request (incl. Query) to Elastic which works pretty fine in Postman.  
I tried hundreds ways to add the body, headers, etc. to a http response node, but it seems that the body will be completely irgnored from elastic.  
I am running out of ideas... Encoding?

Best Thomas

> Hi, I want to query a webserver to get a json file. For that I have to request the webserver via http GET method and the json query string has to be in the body. It work perfect when I use postman, but I try to use www request, http request but it doesn't work. Wireshark showing me that the body isn't send to the webserver. Like in the node description I put the body in the msg.payload. Has somebody an idea how I get it running best regards Uwe
