TLS handshake error

vfung

Hello

I am trying to use the HTTPRequest node, and doing a simple request works fine with sites like "https://www.google.com/" or "https://httpbin.org/get". However on the site I actually need (NASA JPL), I get this error:

do_handshake: TLS handshake error: -9984

I searched and this is the mbedTLS error MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_CERT_VERIFY_FAILED, but information on how to address this scarce and highly technical.

Any pointers on how to go about fixing this? Thanks.

That seems like a site that would have extra security layers.

There are supposed to be really smart guys working there. Maybe they could help you? 😉

Ok, on further searching I found I can add this to the code to "skip" the checking:

http_request.set_tls_options(TLSOptions.client_unsafe())

However, the Godot TLSOptions documentation says: "Note: On the Web platform, TLS verification is always enforced against the CA list of the web browser. This is considered a security feature.". And exporting to web is my goal, so this won´t be a good solution. Any advice? Thanks.

Are these the guys who are researching the ~~perpetuum mobil~~e EmDrive?

Hi Dave, maybe you are right, JPL Horizons dishes out high precision planetary data for all Nasa missions, such as Hubble, Webb, Juno, etc., but at the same time it is available for the public. Maybe that explains the security.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Maybe they saw "The Hills Have Eyes" (1977) and thought the character Pluto was too scary.
