Hey @mrj04! If you happen to be behind a corporate proxy, your might need to configure your node.js with the local certificate your company is using (this thread provides more information).

To set the cafile:

npm config set cafile=/path/to/your/file.pem

The contents of the .pem file content would be similar to this (plain text with BEGIN/END certificate marks and the base64 content).

To generate the .pem file from a valid .crt file you can use openssl:

openssl x509 -inform der -in /path/to/the.crt -out /path/to/your/file.pem

Hope that helps!

Jan
