Hi im trying to figure how to use curl in nodered ..I want to get information of my torrent files (which has api support)  
i want to convert this part of code to nodered style.

```auto
$ curl -i --header 'Referer: http://localhost:8080' --data 'username=admin&password=adminadmin' http://localhost:8080/api/v2/auth/login
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Encoding:
Content-Length: 3
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Set-Cookie: SID=hBc7TxF76ERhvIw0jQQ4LZ7Z1jQUV0tQ; path=/
$ curl http://localhost:8080/api/v2/torrents/info --cookie "SID=hBc7TxF76ERhvIw0jQQ4LZ7Z1jQUV0tQ"

```

and get the information in debug window.  
the api documentation is as follows:

> **[WebUI API (qBittorrent 4.1) · qbittorrent/qBittorrent Wiki](https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/WebUI-API-(qBittorrent-4.1)#:~:text=Example%20showing%20how%20to%20login%20and%20execute%20a%20command%20that%20requires%20authentication%20using%20curl%3A)**

Try this...

```auto
[{"id":"606e0c6c93bc3b1a","type":"inject","z":"c876e57260edd2ab","name":"Click me","props":[],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","x":640,"y":780,"wires":[["4a881416445ff3e7"]]},{"id":"4a881416445ff3e7","type":"function","z":"c876e57260edd2ab","name":"","func":"//original curl: \n//\n//curl -i --header 'Referer: http://localhost:8080' --data 'username=admin&password=adminadmin' http://localhost:8080/api/v2/auth/login\n\nmsg.method = \"post\";\nmsg.url = \"http://localhost:8080/api/v2/auth/login\";\nmsg.payload = `username=admin&password=adminadmin`;\nmsg.headers = {\n \"Referer\": \"http://localhost:8080\",\n \"Content-Type\": \"application/x-www-form-urlencoded\"\n};\nmsg.cookies = null;\n\nreturn msg;","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"initialize":"","finalize":"","libs":[],"x":820,"y":780,"wires":[["3695a2656792ac3a"]]},{"id":"3695a2656792ac3a","type":"http request","z":"c876e57260edd2ab","name":"","method":"use","ret":"txt","paytoqs":"ignore","url":"","tls":"","persist":false,"proxy":"","authType":"","x":1000,"y":780,"wires":[["2e35023de976776e"]]},{"id":"2e35023de976776e","type":"debug","z":"c876e57260edd2ab","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"false","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":1180,"y":780,"wires":[]},{"id":"63543d5f2f46c634","type":"comment","z":"c876e57260edd2ab","name":"Edit this function ↓ and set username/password","info":"","x":860,"y":740,"wires":[]}]

```

Copy the above flow JSON and import it into node-red using `CTRL-I`

Set the url/username/password up in the function node before operating.

```auto
$ curl http://localhost:8080/api/v2/torrents/info --cookie "SID=hBc7TxF76ERhvIw0jQQ4LZ7Z1jQUV0tQ"

Set the debug to "show complete message" - you will find the cookie.

Use the "copy path" button on the debug output field value (to grab its path)

Use this path to populate the `msg.cookies` and run the 2nd HTTP-request

`inject --> 1st http-request --> grab cookie, set msg.cookies --> 2nd http-request`

Something like this in a function node before the 2nd http-request...

```auto
msg.cookies = {
    "SID": msg.cookies.SID 
};
return msg;

```

Problem solved.

If you want to fully understand what is going on then read up on the HTTP spec in particular headers and cookies 🙂

Search the forum for POST and multipart.

Also, you might want to consider using a dedicated API helper by importing it in a function node ([qBittorrent - npm search](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=qBittorrent))

Every time you set msg.headers to a new {object} containing one item (and destroy the previous entry). Do the same as you did for `msg.headers["cookie"]`.

Also, current length needs to be a value, not a string of "length" though you might get away with leaving this particular header out.

thanks let me try, msg.headers[""] or can it work like this?

```auto
msg.headers = {
