Node.js web-push library

Question

---

I'm trying to use the web-push node.js library to send a push-notification to a chrome browser.

after firing the

webpush.sendNotification(pushSubscription,payload)

method i get this response -

{ Error: unable to verify the first certificate
at Error (native)
at TLSSocket.<anonymous> (_tls_wrap.js:1060:38)
at emitNone (events.js:86:13)
at TLSSocket.emit (events.js:185:7)
at TLSSocket._finishInit (_tls_wrap.js:584:8)
at TLSWrap.ssl.onhandshakedone (_tls_wrap.js:416:38) code: 'UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE' }

i'm guessing it's a SSL issue? How can i test this library over localhost?

Thanks

I got it working by creating the nodejs server with https and the correct keys.

Not sure if this is the correct implementation but it got it up and running for us.

const https = require('https');
const fs = require('fs');

const options = {
  pfx: fs.readFileSync('server.pfx')
};

https.createServer(options, (req, res) => {
    //Do push things
}).listen(443);
