Root Cause

When you have issues with headers it is impossible to debug them because the data are hidden (also in the browser console). It is missing a copy as curl request button that was already proposed in the forum 3 years ago https://community.n8n.io/t/general-http-request-debugging/2755/9

Bug Description

As you can see in this screenshot:

<img width="1132" height="908" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/748a9e81-106f-4f33-86e9-d856e408b12d" />

Also the other info box is useless in this case because are just internal js stuff and aren't helpful on debugging the issue.

  1. Add http request node
