Have you looked at the (very good) documentation of the `http request` node?  
Doing what you want is fairly obvious once you have looked at the manual.

Also are you 100% sure all that is required, I'll bet most of the headers aren't especially

Unfortunately I'm not a programmer and I use node red for my simple tasks, I also extracted these commands from the Google Chrome output.  
Please give me a sample flow to run the above program if possible. Thank you

It is customary on this kind of forum to try first and then ask for help and not saying _please, can you do this for me_...

Using the documentation, you can figure out that you have to put the url in _msg.url_, the headers in _msg.headers_ and so on. Either with a change node or a function node something like:

```auto
msg.url = "http://192.168.8.1/api/sms/send-sms";
msg.method = "GET";
msg.headers = {
    'Origin': '192.168.8.1'
    'Referer': '192.168.8.1/html/smsinbox.html'
} ;

```

And so on.
