Hi there,
I'm trying to set a URL dynamically by:
flow.set(sendURL,"https://myURL.com/api/");
Set msg.url to flow.myVar
[FUNCTION]--->[CHANGE]--->[REQUEST]
...however, I keep getting the error "No url specified"
I have been trying to figure this out for ages, and I feel like I must be missing something obvious. I'd appreciate any input!
You can set msg.url in the previous node (leave the URL field in the HTTP request node empty)
This is documented in the HTTP request node built in help.
Is sendURL a variable set to "myVar"?
This is what I'm doing, but I'm not having much success just now.
Sorry, (and well spotted) this is what I should have said:
flow.set("myVar","https://myURL.com/api/");Set msg.url to flow.myVarAdd a debug node (set to show full message) before the HTTP request. You will see if .url is present in the msg
Ok, are the function and change node in the same flow tab?
I'm getting no output from the debug following the change node. Here is the flow:

sendURL is not SENDurl check your change node.
P.S. You need to add a http respnse node with the http in node or the request will hang.
I cannot believe that I missed that typo - thanks so much. Thanks for the info on the HTML response also - I had no idea. The flow below seems to be working!

Every node has a help info, it's the book symbol at the top of the debug panel. Often there is very helpful info there.
