Description

I want to simulate a latency scenario where a https url is called from our java service within kubernetes cluster. toxiproxy is deployed in a separate service and pod within the same cluster.

After creating proxy and updating the url in our service with the new proxied url, we get the below errors within toxiproxy:

from postman we are able to suppress errors with -k, without -k flag or when the calls goes from java service using RestTemplate we get error "error":"writeto tcp x.x.x.x:443->x.x.x.x:64473: read tcp x.x.x.x:443->x.x.x.x:64473: use of closed network connection","caller":"link.go:127","time":"2025-06-04T18:03:56Z","message":"Source terminated"}

I am not sure how to bypass these certificate errors without any code changes.
Is there any setting within toxiproxy for ssl configuration? Or suggested changes within kubernetes to bypass/validate certificates for proxied url.

Research direction

The report names no file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the HTTPS proxy call from the Java RestTemplate setup in Kubernetes and determine how toxiproxy handles TLS; done would be an identified supported setting or a documented limitation.
