Node HTTPS request SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN

I've been using https://github.com/mikeal/request to make calls to a REST API

When I make a GET request over HTTPS with { strictSSL: false } specified in the options. I get the response I'm after and all is fine.

However, If I make a POST request also with strictSSL specified I receive an error SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN

Here an example of what I've been using:

request.post({url: url, headers: headers, strictSSL: false}, function (err, response, body) {


});

Does any body know why it works for GET requests and no POST

One option that is useful when using self signed certs is to set the following environment variable:

export NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0
