Node-RED HTTPS Request with Peer Certificate Output

verified May 27, 2026

This Node-RED contribution provides an enhanced HTTP Request node specifically designed for making HTTPS requests. It extends the core Node-RED HTTP Request node by adding the `msg.peerCertificate` property to the output message, allowing flow developers to inspect the server's TLS/SSL certificate after a successful connection. This is crucial for applications requiring advanced certificate validation or logging. The package is currently at version 2.0.0, indicating a stable release with potential breaking changes from previous major versions. Node-RED contrib packages typically follow an as-needed release cadence, driven by user feedback and Node-RED core updates. Its key differentiator is the direct exposure of the `peerCertificate` object, which is not available in the standard Node-RED HTTP Request node, making it indispensable for secure or compliance-driven integrations.
