Edit: I originally thought the server's certificate was self signed. Turns out it was signed by a self-signed CA certificate.
I'm trying to write a Node.js application that accesses an HTTPS site that's protected using a self-signed certificate certificate signed by a private, self-signed CA certificate. I'd also like to not completely disable certificate checking.
I tried putting the self signed certificate server's certificate in the request options, but that doesn't seem to be working. Anyone know how to do this?
I expect the following code to print statusCode 200, but instead it prints [Error: SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN].
I've tried similar code with request with the same results.
var https = require('https');
var fs = require('fs');
var opts = {
hostname: host,
port: 443,
path: '/',
method: 'GET',
ca: fs.readFileSync(serverCertificateFile, 'utf-8')
};
var req = https.request(opts, function (res) {
console.log('statusCode', res.statusCode);
});
req.end();
req.on('error', function (err) {
console.error(err);
});
