Connecting to SOAP server from Node.js producing ECONNRESET error

I am trying to connect to SOAP server from Node.js using a HTTP request. It is however producing a ECONNRESET error more or less straight away. I believe this is to do with timeout but cannot seem to fix it. I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. The port, host and path are all correct.

My HTTP request is:

  var postRequest = {
      host : "t1.webservice.secure.ddts.defra.gov.uk",
      path: "/defraDataTransferPublicNWSE.asmx",
      SOAPAction: "http://www.defra.gov.uk/TransferData",
      port: 443,
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'text/xml; charset=utf-8',
          'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(body2)
      }
  };

  var buffer = "";

  var req = http.request( postRequest, function( res )    {
     console.log( res.statusCode );
     var buffer = "";
     res.on( "data", function( data ) { buffer = buffer + data; } );
     res.on( "end", function( data ) { console.log( buffer ); } );
  });
  req.on('error', function(err) {
      console.log( "----ERROR----" ); console.log(err);
  });
  req.write( body2 );
  req.end();

First, you must use https module vs http module.

The next problem with the certificate of authorization center.

Simple, you can set rejectUnauthorized option to false, but this is not very good.

The best option:

  • Download Symantec Intermediate CA (ICA) Certificate (Symantec Class 3 Secure Server CA - G4) from this page
  • install module ssl-root-cas
  • add certificate before request:

*

var sslRootCAs = require('ssl-root-cas/latest')
    .inject()`
    .addFile( __dirname + '/Symantec Class 3 Secure Server CA - G4.cer' );
