Hello, i am trying since 2h and cant find an working solution.
I try to build the following command with the nodered http-request:
curl -d "otpType=ReadRealTimeData&pwd=PASSWD" -X POST http://5.8.8.8
Can anybody help me?
Try setting the http request node to
method POST
url http://5.8.8.8
and feed in payload
{
"otpType": "ReadRealTimeData",
"pwd": "PASSWD"
}Also need to set the Content-Type header to application/x-www-form-urlencoded, as it will format it out as JSON I believe

This is my first try. But i am getting an error:
"RequestError: socket hang up : http://5.8.8.8"
Try unchecking basic authorization in the http request node
Corrected the function Node to:
msg.headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
};
msg.payload = {
"otpType": "ReadRealTimeData",
"pwd": "SXK2PXZVEK"
};
return msg
But the error is the same.
basic auth. is not set.
This works using curl on the same machine as Node RED right?
scratch that must of accidently checked it myself
yes it works:
curl -d "optType=ReadRealTimeData&pwd=PASSWD" -X POST http://5.8.8.8
{"sn":"*****","ver":"3.003.02","type":7,"Data":[2321,2331,2332,39,39,40,894,890,919,3307,4459,36,36,1181,1576,5000,5000,5000,2,4573,0,71,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,8,0,0,0,0,0,8,8000,0,29,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,33,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2679,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],"Information":[8.000,7,"****",8,1.22,1.02,1.33,1.02,0.00,1]
no problem, i am happy when someone is trying to help me. I am sitting since hours on this simple task 
Just for fun what happens if you enable keep alive?
I currently cant see any difference between curl and Node RED
The headers differences are here
the top object is the curl from command line, and lower is a http request from node-red
Yes i captured the HTTP-Headers via tcpdump ant tried to reconfigure the function. My result:
Curl- HTTP-Request
POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: 5.8.8.8
User-Agent: curl/7.74.0
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 39
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
optType=ReadRealTimeData&pwd=PASSWD [|http]
Nodered- HTTP-Request
POST / HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: nodered
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 39
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Host: 5.8.8.8
Connection: keep-alive
otpType=ReadRealTimeData&pwd=PASSWD [|http]
I am still getting an error.
