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 - ![GET](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/e/0/e0c9a133532136e7670480f86aa07500c1e1dbb5.png) Debug node log : ```auto 1/3/2022, 2:42:21 PMnode: a41e36319a7a5959msg : string[16] "JSON parse error" ``` ```auto payload: string Error 
Cannot GET /flows
topic: "" statusCode: 404 headers: object x-powered-by: "Express" content-security-policy: "default-src 'none'" x-content-type-options: "nosniff" content-type: "text/html; charset=utf-8" content-length: "144" vary: "Accept-Encoding" date: "Mon, 03 Jan 2022 13:42:21 GMT" connection: "close" x-node-red-request-node: "5726158e" responseUrl: "http://rds-00.pc.cognex.com/flows" redirectList: array[0] retry: 0 ``` It is clear to me as per the [documentation](https://nodered.org/docs/api/admin/errors) 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.

Thanks for the comment @knolleary . However, I have chosen to run node-red on `Port:80` and specifying it in the URL is still not helping. ---
