Http in node

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

Hi all.

I have been using a http node to get a web request into a flow and was working wonderfully. I was using Hassio vers .89 something. I upgraded Hassio and Node red etc to the latest and had to ask how to get to the old web interface.

However I now cant get the http in node to work. Trying it from a browser it asks the login name and password and I used the same one I have been using for weeks and checked it was in the config file but it keeps getting rejected.
I am out of ideas?

I have tried every name and password combination I can think of. Tried all the ones in the node-red config but still being rejected. Any ideas?

I use http node to log into my cameras and grab snapshots. It works just fine.

Yes it was working for me as well. It just stopped after I upgraded. However I may have had a sd card failure and have rebuilt the whole thing. Just spent the day installing stuff again so will see the next day or so.

I use it to get movement input from my Xoema cameras and then it marks the cctv foorgae with text so I can see what was going on when reveiwing the foorgae

did a fresh install and still not working.

Using the name and password as in the config and the http port but refusing

Try clearing your local storage auth credentials. There was an issue like this for 3.0 of the node red addon. In Chrome Ctrl-Shift-J, application tab, local storage on the left, delete the stuff.

8

Tried it from a completely different browser and same issue. Actually in an effort to get something I use it for going I thought about using a websocket node but it seems to have the same issue. Will keep working at it but its driving me crazy

9

Out of interest is there a way of turning off the authentication so that it will simply let any request? I dont have my system exposed and only need to get a web request from my cctv server into node-red so authentication isnt a high requirement for me

10

That depends on your camera server. Most of my hikvisions don’t require a login, but any of the newer firmware do.

11

No I am using it the other way. My camera server has a http request into my node red. When it sees motion it sends a http request to the node-red. It normally passes the user and password in the http string but at the moment node-red is rejecting it. I used to use the httpnode username and password. Can I disable that part in node-red

12

Then it’s not using an http node (which is a node INSIDE node-red)?

I am confused now.

I don’t have a username/password at all for node-red.

Here is the link to the page I used to set it up originally. As mentioned I had it working

https://cookbook.nodered.org/http/create-an-http-endpoint

14

OK, that makes sense.

Since you are using hassio, this is a configuration done on the node-red add-on, and not a normal node-red issue.

15

Hey @Secs , wondering if you ever got this working? I’m trying my first httpIn for node-red addon, and I can’t even figure out what the base URL should be.

Thanks.

Hi Rsrramirez.

I had it working beautifully. But I was a few upgrades behind and I went from .89 or simalar to 9 something in HA and it broke. For whatever reason it will not authenticate no matter what I use for username/password. I even did a fresh install of HA and get the same result so havent worked it out. Even using wget calling it from Linux command line gets a failure so not sure.
I come back and play every so often but have other bits and pieces I have been doing.
I followed https://cookbook.nodered.org/http/create-an-http-endpoint originally to get it going. I used it to have my CCTV system to pass data back to node-red

Hi @Secs

From the previous post, since you were using HASSIO, I assume you’re using the node-red addon, yes? When it was working, what was the URL you were using? For example, in my stand-alone docker of node-red, I can get
http://hostname:1880/httpNodeName
to work
but if I use the node-red add on, I tried all different variations
eg
http://hostname:8123/api/hassio/addon/a0d7b954_nodered/httpNodeName
http://hostname:8123/api/addon/a0d7b954_nodered/httpNodeName
http://hostname:8123/hassio/addon/a0d7b954_nodered/httpNodeName

Just wondering.
Thanks.

Yes Roy you are correct. I am using Hassio and the addon. When it was working i was using the format http://httpnode:[email protected]:1880/hello2?camera=front2

and I called that from my linux box like

wget http://httpnode:[email protected]:1880/hello2?camera=front2

I was using the port of the node-red interface. I am just in the middle of a job in the house for she who must be kept happy but when thats finished I will have a play again

19

Just tried it again. No luck either by using chrome in a web browser or linux via wget. Tried using the Hassio port or the one I have as an external to Node-red. Tried the httpnode username and password and also tried the username and password I log into Hassio with. It keeps getting an authentication failure

Mine also stopped working. Used it with IFTTT commands and https (DuckDNS). I have no idea why…
