title: Node js - SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:.Error
body: <p>So I am using Statusdashboard (https://github.com/obazoud/statusdashboard), it is a simple tool to check whether a website is up or not (I know I can use Monit too, but I want to give Node JS a try that's why I am using this.)</p>
  
  <p>This seems to work great when using 'http' in the settings file, but as soon as I try checking status of a website which uses 'https' protocol it gives out an error statement both on console and the dashboard - "SSL23_GET_SEVER_HELLO:unknown protocol". I figured it out that this has to do something with node HTTPS.</p>
  
  <p>Just wondering if anyone has ever encountered this error before.</p>
