Sending HTTP request without body

[juajua]

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m trying to send HTTP request without wrapping the data in body {}. I searched this forum and found an older message that had attached YAML, and when I add this node to my workflow I get this:

It seems to be version 1. However when I add HTTP node from the library, it is version 4.3 and looks like this:

It doesn’t seem to have that JSON/RAW capability anymore or am I just looking in the wrong place? If I need to add the older node, how do I do that without always importing it from that other users YAML and then modifying my workflow?

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

Share the output returned by the last node

Hi @juajua

I’m not sure if I understand you correctly, but maybe try this:

1. Enable “Send Body”
2. Set “Body Content Type” to “JSON”
3. Set “Specify Body” to “Using JSON”

I hope this is what you need.

That wraps it in a body and sends a request:

{ "body": { "login": { "username": "nsroot", "password": "asdfasdf" } }, "headers": { "accept": "application/json,text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml,text/*;q=0.9, image/*;q=0.8, */*;q=0.7" }, "method": "POST", "uri": "http://10.133.104.71/nitro/v1/config/login", "gzip": true, "rejectUnauthorized": true, "followRedirect": true, "resolveWithFullResponse": true, "followAllRedirects": true, "timeout": 300000, "encoding": null, "json": false, "useStream": true }

Version 1 of the HTTP node in my workflow works and sends only this:

{“login”:{“username”:“nsroot”,“password”:“asdfasdf”}}

With curl I would send this and it works:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" http://10.133.104.71/nitro/v1/config/login -d '{"login":{"username":"nsroot","password":"asdfasdf"}}'

Using Import cURL this curl command is translated to:

btw, there is also a “Raw” option and many others:

I’m sure you can get what you need with the correct configuration..
