Hello, I have a problem with node HTTP REQUEST.
I have an API with a Dahua camera which allows me to know the number of people in an area.
> http://"ipcam"/cgi-bin/videoStatServer.cgi?action=attach&channel=1&heartbeat=2
When I do in a command prompt, it works, I get some information back.
> curl --digest -u "user":"pw" -s "http://"ipcam"/cgi-bin/videoStatServer.cgi?action=attach&channel=1&heartbeat=2"
When I use the HTTP REQUEST node, by filling in the authentication digest information, the node displays request then "no response from server". The request is a long connection and must remain open with no end time. Could you help me ?
I need to retrieve the response message to do my analysis in node red for info the response looks like this:
