Description

Hi,

it seems that since https://github.com/cloudfoundry/nodejs-buildpack/pull/463

As a temporary solution the environment variable SSL_CERT_DIR is set with the default SSL dir (/etc/ssl/certs) when installing Node >= 18.0.0.

BOSH configured custom trusted certificate support is implicitly enabled as the BOSH configured custom trusted certificate ends up in /etc/ssl/certs.

This is great!

It might even be that setting SSL_CERT_DIR is not even needed anymore: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/43560

Could the support of BOSH configured custom trusted certificates be documented at https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/buildpacks/node/index.html#bosh_trusted_cert ?

Thank you and best regards,
Silvestre
