I'm sure I'm missing something fairly simple here. I'm trying to create a task to send a message to my server when I get home to activate a task in Node Red.

HTTP Request action:
POST
Body: msg.topic=1843

That gets me an error: 1
<!DOCTYPE html> error
...
<body>
<pre-Cannot POST /Tasker</pre>
</body>
</html>

If I take out the /Tasker or the http:, I get <javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unable to parse TLS packet header>

I've tried several combinations, and I'm sure I'm missing something small, just not quite catching on.

Thanks

It seems like the node in node-red might not be correctly setup. Did you set it up to receive POST requests and not GET requests?
