HTTPS request with self signed certificate on the server about node-rest-client

[psinghsp]

rejectUnauthorized is one of the HTTPS client options. It allows a client to talk to a server with self-signed certificate.

I did figure this out for node-rest-client library. Here is the example from my code:

var options = {
connection: {
rejectUnauthorized: false,
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
},
requestConfig: {
timeout: 60000,
noDelay: true,
keepAlive: true,
keepAliveDelay: 1000
},
responseConfig: {
timeout: 300000
}
};

var tmpClient = new Client(options);

Hi
but rejectUnauthorized isn't a server parameter?

a quote from node docs say:

rejectUnauthorized: A boolean indicating whether a server should automatically reject clients with invalid certificates. Only applies to servers with requestCert enabled.

Could you please tell me how do you set that parameter in https node client?

Thanks.

You're right that's the way to pass the "options" parameter to http.request or https.request methods with node-rest-client. I understand that with the example you post, the issue is solved, right?

thanks.

I had same issue and connection options in this example help me to fix it, thanks!
