title: Where is node's certificate store?
body: <p>I am making an https request (using the request module) to a server with a self-signed cert.  It throws an error if I don't specify <code>strictSSL: false</code> as an option.</p>
  
  <p>This cert is already trusted on my OS (OSX), such that Chrome doesn't throw an error while accessing a webpage from that server.</p>
  
  <p>I understand different applications/environments may have their own certificate stores.  Firefox has its own, and the JVM, for example, is usually at $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts (on OSX).</p>
  
  <p>My question is, where does node look for its trusted CA's?  Is there such a concept?  I'd like to add my self-signed cert there for development purposes.</p>
