Hi,  
I am tring to test out retrieving data into Ignition using httpClient, but I cannot get it to display any data.

This is the basic script i am running, but it just returns 'None':

_client = system.net.httpClient()_  
_url = "[http://services.odata.org/V3/OData/OData.svc/Products?$format=json](http://services.odata.org/V3/OData/OData.svc/Products?$format=json)"_  
_response = client.get(url)_  
_print response.json_

If I send this URL in Postman it returns the data ok.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Print the `response.statusCode` and share your headers used in Postman.

Try creating the client like this:

```python
client = system.net.httpClient(redirect_policy="ALWAYS")

```

The redirect is probably because you're not using `https` in your URL.
