NodeJS Request Post not working for HTTPS website

Question

Im using NodeJS Request - Simplified HTTP Client

I seem to have problem working with HTTPS website, I am not getting result.

var request = require('request');

request.post({
    url: "",//your url
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
    },

    form: {
        myfield: "myfieldvalue"
    }
},function (response, err, body){
    console.log('Body:',JSON.parse(body));
}.bind(this));

Tested the API endpoint(which I cant share) on Postman, I just turn off SSL and it works, how do I do the same with request plugin?

Answer 1

Just add this lines:

    rejectUnauthorized: false,//add when working with https sites
    requestCert: false,//add when working with https sites
    agent: false,//add when working with https sites

So your code would look like this:

var request = require('request');

request.post({
    url: "",//your url
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
    },
    rejectUnauthorized: false,//add when working with https sites
    requestCert: false,//add when working with https sites
    agent: false,//add when working with https sites
    form: {
        myfield: "myfieldvalue"
    }
},function (response, err, body){
    console.log('Body:',JSON.parse(body));
}.bind(this));
