Hi @kiran

If you are asking for help with wireshark, you'll have to share some more details.

Where are you running wireshark in relation to where you are running node-red?

Are your client (browser) and server on different devices? And is the requested URL on a different device to the Node-RED server?

So you should be able to capture all traffic between the local device (with WS & NR running on it) and the other server. I'd start with a short capture of any traffic and then hone in on what I needed.
