I have and HTTP Post task with the following entries to send information to a Node-Red server
Server: Port
Data / File
location=hall
state=off
It works fine, but I want to convert it to an HTTP Request task of type POST. Every time I try and play with the variables, I get error messages and it doesn't work. Can anyone point me to how I should format the entries in HTTP Request?
Thanks

Thanks, I did a lot of checking online, but didn't think of actual in-app help.
That got me further, so I have taken what I did before and entered the following fields:
Method:
POST
URL:
192.168.0.175:1880/plug
Body:
location=hall&state=off
However, when I run that task, it doesn't register with the Node-Red server and gives me what looks to be the code for an HTML page that looks like an Error page. "Unexpected Token 1 in JSON at position 0" seems like the main part of that message. It's weird that the HTTP Post gives no issue, while the HTTP Request task gives the error.

Hi again. Seems like the server is expecting a JSON body.
Can you please try setting a header in the request:
Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencodedDoes that make it work?
