## Outputting data to console via code node does not work

I send an http request to Amazon S3 (listing the bucket), The ‘http’ node returns an empty array, as tested inside http node. That’s fine. In the code node, I just want to see the output of the linked ‘http’ node, so I use (I guess, because it is not clear from docs)

```auto
console.log(input.all());
return $input.all(); // hope this is how to pass not transformed data further?

```

But what I got is an error:

```auto
A 'json' property isn't an object [item 0]

```

An empty array is a valid Json… So what is the way to simply print the input of the code node?

## Please share your workflow

(exact url stripped for security)

## Share the output returned by the last node

No output - errored

It turned out the resposne type from http node should be set to ‘auto’. And it worked.
