I am trying to list and upload a file to nextcloud with node-red  
I have tried using the kuehnelbs node/node-red-contrib-nextcloud  
I was successful in the listing but uploading gave me an error :  
**"self signed certificate in certificate chain"**  
(which I'm looking at now what it is)( I asked the author, but he doesn't answer)

I have also tried to use the Webdav library directly, but it gives me the same error and no results

With webdav i use:

> const webdav = global.get("webdav")  
> const https = global.get("https")  
> var server = {address:"[https://myip/nextcloud/remote.php/webdav/](https://myip/nextcloud/remote.php/webdav/)",  
> user:"",  
> password:"",  
> insecure:true,  
> },  
> directory = "/"  
> node.warn(server)  
> var client = webdav.createClient(  
> server.address, {  
> username: server.user,  
> password: "server.password",  
> digest: true,  
> }  
> );  
> node.warn({client:client})  
> node.warn(directory)  
> const option = {}  
> if (server.insecure) {  
> option.agent = https.Agent({ rejectUnauthorized: false })  
> }  
> node.warn(option)  
> msg.directoryItems=client.getDirectoryContents(directory, option)  
> .then(function (contents) {  
> node.send({ 'payload': contents })  
> }, function (error) {  
> node.error({error: error})  
> })  
> return msg

things to note: use windows and node-red 1.0.3

If someone has used nexcloud with node-red or knows how to correct this error, I would appreciate it

If IRC there are two versions of this node that have been published.

I am using @kuehnelbs/node-red-contrib-nextcloud **v0.1.3 and I don't get this error**.

Indeed, I am not getting any errors, nor am I getting any files either.

So it appears that the "list" node works ok, but the other nodes may be problematic. Pity.
