Hi,  
I'm new to Node-Red and have been strugling with a limitation of websockets.  
I am using the websocket node as a client (connect instead of listen). I am able to send messages as well as recieve messages. However, I have to hardcode the address in the node configuration. But the address that I have to use is coming as an output of an http request.

Is it possible feed the websocket address as a input to the websocket node? or do I have to write a custom function/node for this?

Thanks
