Hi all,
I am running Node-Red 2.0.6 on a Raspberry Pi 4 and want to get all the currently deployed flows as a JSON object using the HTTP Admin API GET Method.
For this, I used an http request node and selected GET method. In the URL section, I put http://localhost/flows and specified the login credentials by clicking on the checkbox for authentication.
After deploying a simple flow (shown in the image), I am getting an output msg object which says -
Debug node log :

responseUrl: "http://rds-00.pc.cognex.com/flows"
redirectList: array[0]

It is clear to me as per the documentation that statusCode:404 means that the resource was not found but I am confused about the reason.
I might probably be making a rookie mistake in terms of using the GET method but so far, I have not found anything to support this argument.
Any help/suggestions are welcome.
