Hi all,  
According to the docs for [/nodes POST](https://nodered.org/docs/api/admin/methods/post/nodes/)

> Either the name of the node module to install from the npm repository, or a full path to a \>directory containing the node module. Note: this api does not support the full range of \>module specifiers used by npm such as .tgz files or version qualifiers.

My question is which module specifiers **_are_** supported?
