SSL Error in nodejs

Question

I\'m trying to get a webpage via node https.request(). Doing so results in an error getting logged by my code. Using the node request module has the same result:

Answer 1

We hit the same problem. By default, request uses the https.globalAgent. So we added the code near the top of our script.

var https = require('https');
https.globalAgent.options.secureProtocol = 'SSLv3_method';

All of a sudden everything worked.

Answer 2

In case website uses ECDH curve, for me the issue resolved only by adding this option:

request({ url, agentOptions: {
            ecdhCurve: 'P-521:P-384:P-256',
},(err,res,body) => {

JFYI, May be this will help someone.

Answer 3

Try to use options = { secureProtocol: 'SSLv3_method' } in the request you are making.
