We know this type of protocol works both with authorization and token, but its management is not very easy. Does anyone have experience with this? We have seen that there is a Node-Red library but we are not really sure about its use neither if there is any web application to test the solution with. Best regards, Laura

The ones I came across all look like they haven't been maintained for the last years. To where does the customer want to send these kinds of Web-Requests? BR

Besides, as you said, it is quite old (last updated 1 year and 7 months ago). Besides, do you know any web server so that we can try it out? Thanks, Laura

I would try to setup node-red on your PC with credentials, and then use this node on the IOT2050 to try to send a login request. BR
