N8n cloud http request not working

Questions
1

Hello,

As I’m new to n8n I’ve decided to try it out and use the cloud version in order to create some basic agents.

What I’m focusing on right now is using the HTTP request tool for an agent and for some reason I cannot get it to send any request. I’ve tried various basic websites (like http://www.google.com for instance) that require no authentication or anyting and all I get is " Invalid URL "

From your description, it seems like you’re encountering an “Invalid URL” error when using the HTTP request tool in n8n cloud. This issue might be related to the URL format or the configuration of the HTTP request node. Double-checking the URL to ensure it’s correctly formatted and making sure the node settings are properly configured could help resolve the issue. Additionally, testing with a different URL or adjusting the node parameters might provide more insight. Our team is actively growing and hiring, so if you’re interested in working with us and tackling challenges like these, it’s a great opportunity to get involved!

From the screenshot provided and the parameters is there anything that looks wrong to you ?

adding progress here for tracking : I’ve noticed I get it to work if I don’t use the " test node " function but directly get it to trigger from having the AI node use it.
