Description

Which node are you reporting an issue on?

node-red-node-emoncms: emonscms
Post data do emoncms

What are the steps to reproduce?

I've configured my emoncms server with self-signed certificate. Thus, using emoncms inside node-red to post data demand to pass the certificate, otherwise it will give an error

[error] [emoncms:Emoncms Push] Error: self signed certificate
What happens?

I can't post the data to my emoncms server.

What do you expect to happen?

msp.payload, probably, can pass cert location to emoncms, but I can't find any documentation regarding the procedure.

Please tell us about your environment:
  • Node-RED version:
    v1.0.6
  • node.js version:
    v12.18.1
  • npm version:
    6.14.5
  • Platform/OS:
    Linux 4.19.118-v7+ arm LE
  • Browser:
    Firefox 79.0 (64-bit)

Research direction

The report identifies the node-red-node-emoncms Emoncms Push node as the entry point; start by locating that node's implementation and checking how HTTPS options are handled. Confirm whether certificate support requires a configuration change or documentation, then verify that posting to a self-signed Emoncms server succeeds while normal HTTPS behavior remains unchanged.
