Hi,

Is there a way to set the URL used for websocket connection dynamically, like we can do for http request nodes ?

Thanks,

Jerome

So, no answer, I guess that's still not possible, unfortunately.

Hi Jerome,

To provide a bit of context why this isn't possible right now, is that the web socket connection its self, is a configuration node, and this type of node (in fact, any node) does not support dynamic changes to its configuration, via the `msg` object

impossible - No, but requires engineering - Yes
