How to ignore invalid ssl cert using javascript request library?

Question

Is there a way to ignore invalid ssl certs using the popular request library: https://www.npmjs.com/package/request

I'm using this in a nodejs server to make an https request to a server with a self-signed cert and need to be able to ignore the invalid ssl cert.

I couldn't find an option for this in the documentation, does anyone know if this is possible?

You need to add: agentOptions.ca = [ selfSignedRootCaPemCrtBuffer ];
