Hi Im having some troubles with the http Request node. I debug the error "RequestError: unable to get local issuer certificate".
In the Postman I had the same problem but I could solve it changing the configuration.
I had to unchecked the "SSL certificate verification".
Is possible to do something like this in node-red?
Thanks, Lucas

Is it a self signed certificate on that server ?
From the http-request node's help file :
> `rejectUnauthorized`
> If set to `false`, allows requests to be made to https sites that use self signed certificates.
So in the msg that you send to the request set `msg.rejectUnauthorized = false`
