title: How to ignore SSL errors from http request node
body: <p>I'm trying to use <a href="http://nodered.org/" rel="nofollow">node-red</a> as a frontend to interface with a REST API that I'm building. My API uses https but on my local server the certificates aren't perfectly set up and when I try to use a "http request" node I get a error:</p>
  
  <pre><code> UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to configure node-red to be less strict and allow SSL protocol errors and proceed to process the http request? Did anyone create their own version of the "http request" node that is less strict than the default one?</p>
  
  <p>(in the Google Chome browser I have a green padlock so SSL is nearly correct, node-red is being very picky)</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>To run node-red I use docker:</p>
  
  <pre><code>docker run -dp 1880:1880 -v ~/.node-red:/root/.node-red --name node-red cpswan/node-red
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is my node-red project sourcecode:</p>
