Hi @jiaminglei-lei! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the dify team.

Streaming output is not natively supported in the HTTP node in Dify v1.3.1. The HTTP node executes requests synchronously and only returns the full response after completion, unlike the LLM node which streams output by yielding chunked events as data is generated. To achieve streaming output from an HTTP node, you would need to develop a custom node or plugin that processes HTTP responses incrementally and yields chunked events, mimicking the LLM node's streaming pattern. This requires significant custom development and is not available out-of-the-box in your current version. You can review the HTTP Request node documentation and core node implementation for extension points if you want to build this yourself. There is ongoing work to improve streaming support in the workflow engine, but these changes are not yet available in v1.3.1 ref ref.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
