Looks like "node-red-contrib-http" has been deprecated. Searching Library I found "node-red-contrib-http-request" but haven't tried that one. Looking for recommendation

[image] twincommander: I was a bit confused how node-red would distinguish requests between dashboard access and node processing. you can add whatever you like in the URL field including... /api/v1/my_endpoint (static route) /api/v1/my_endpoint/:param1/data/:param2 (dynamic route) /fred/…

Hi. Welcome to the forum. Question: Why are you installing http nodes when node-red has http-request built in?

https is what I'm looking for. Trying to give responses to a webhook server that requires https

To clarify. You are creating an endpoint in node-red that an external application calls? Or the other way around (node-red calls an external application)

Yes, external cloud host sending status updates messages that I will point at my node-red install. Should be able to string match and trigger something else. I don't control the host side and it requires https for sending events. BTW: I have configured certificates and https is working for dashbo…

Ok, well the 2 nodes you have mentioned were for making http(s) requests from node-red. Regarding securing node-red, how do you access the node-red editor (via http://xxx or https://xxx)

https, used Certbot ACME client to generate the keys. That part is working!

Then you are all set. just create your endpoint using the built-in http-in -> http-response nodes. Cookbook: Create an HTTP Endpoint : Node-RED

I can't use the built in if the host is making https request...right? I was assuming I needed to install a different note capable of deciphering https request.

If you access node-red via HTTPS then any endpoint you create using the http-in nodes will be accessible via HTTPS.

The http-in URL is relative to the editor.
