<script type="text/x-red" data-help-name="http in">
    <p>Provides an input node for http requests, allowing the creation of simple web services.</p>
    <p>The resulting message has the following properties:
        <ul>
            <li>msg.req : <a href="http://expressjs.com/api.html#req">http request</a></li>
            <li>msg.res : <a href="http://expressjs.com/api.html#res">http response</a></li>
        </ul>
    </p>
    <p>For POST/PUT requests, the body is available under <code>msg.req.body</code>. This
       uses the <a href="http://expressjs.com/api.html#bodyParser">Express bodyParser middleware</a> to parse the content to a JSON object.
    </p>
    <p>
       By default, this expects the body of the request to be url encoded:
       <pre>foo=bar&amp;this=that</pre>
    </p>
    <p>
       To send JSON encoded data to the node, the content-type header of the request must be set to
       <code>application/json</code>.
    </p>
    <p>
       <b>Note: </b>This node does not send any response to the http request. This should be done with
       a subsequent HTTP Response node, or Function node.
       In the case of a Function node, the <a href="http://expressjs.com/api.html#res">Express response documentation</a>
       describes how this should be done. For example:
       <pre>msg.res.send(200, 'Thanks for the request ');<br/>return msg;</pre>
    </p>

    <p>Provides a node for making http requests.</p>
    <p>The URL and HTTP method can be configured in the node, but also
       overridden by the incoming message:
    <ul>
        <li><code>url</code>, if set, is used as the url of the request</li>
        <li><code>method</code>, if set, is used as the HTTP method of the request. Must be one of <code>GET</code>, <code>PUT</code>, <code>POST</code> or <code>DELETE</code> (default: GET)</li>
        <li><code>headers</code>, if set, should be an object containing field/value
        pairs to be added as request headers</li>
        <li><code>payload</code> is sent as the body of the request</li>
    </ul>
    <p>When configured within the node, the URL property can contain <a href="http://mustache.github.io/mustache.5.html" target="_new">mustache-style</a> tags. These allow the
    url to be constructed using values of the incoming message. For example, if the url is set to
    <code>example.com/{{topic}}</code>, it will have the value of <code>msg.topic</code> automatically inserted.</p>
    <p>
    The output message contains the following properties:
    <ul>
        <li><code>payload</code> is the body of the response</li>
        <li><code>statusCode</code> is the status code of the response, or the error code if the request could not be completed</li>
        <li><code>headers</code> is an object containing the response headers</li>
