Node.JS requests with rejectUnauthorized as false

I'm trying to use the request module for Node.js to formulate a HTTPS GET request. The corresponding code using the https module is as follows:

var https = require('https');

var options = {
    hostname: url,
    path: path,
    rejectUnauthorized: false,
    secureProtocol: 'TLSv1_method',
    port: 8443,
    method: 'POST'
  };

https.get(options, function(response) {
    var body = ''; 
    response.on('data', function(chunk) {
        body += chunk.toString();
    });
    response.on('end', function() {
        var content = JSON.parse(body);
        console.log(content);
    });
});

I attempted to rewrite this code using the request module as follows:

var request = require('request');

var options = {
    url: url,
    strictSSL: false
}

request.get(options, function(error, response, body) {
    if (error) {
        console.log(error);
    } else {
        console.log(body);
    }
});

However, this gives me an error { [Error: socket hang up] code: 'ECONNRESET', sslError: undefined }

What would be the request equivalent of rejectUnauthorized: false?

This will might help you.

let request = require( 'request' ).defaults({rejectUnauthorized:false});

You can add an agent to your request call. This allows you to add rejectUnauthorized like before:

const request = require('request');
const https = require('https');

var agent = new https.Agent({
  host: URL_HOST,
  port: '443',
  path: '/',
  rejectUnauthorized: false
});

var options = {
  url: url,
  agent: agent
};

request.get(options, function(error, response, body) {
  if (error) {
    console.log(error);
  } else {
    console.log(body);
  }
});

add these two line:

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

that works for me.

The request module in Node.js has the option secureProtocol even though it is not documented.

This can be used as follows:

var request = require('request');

var options = {
    url: url,
    strictSSL: false,
    secureProtocol: 'TLSv1_method'
}

request.get(options, function(error, response, body) {
    if (error) {
        console.log(error);
    } else {
        console.log(body);
    }
});
