nodejs equivalent of https curl -k request - node.js

Question

I was following the guide here https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-deploy-elasticsearch.html for accessing elasticsearch via a curl request and was wondering how I can translate this curl -u "elastic:somepassword" -k "https://quickstart-es-http:9200" to nodejs.
I have this setup but I'm unable to connect:
https.get(
"https://quickstart-es-http:9200",
{ headers: { authorization: "Basic elastic:" + process.env.ES_SECRET } },
(innerRes) => {
let data = "";
innerRes.on("error", (err) => {
console.error("erro>>", err);
});
innerRes.on("data", (chunk) => {
data += chunk;
});
innerRes.on("end", () => {
console.log("data", data);
res.send(data);
});
innerRes.on("close", () => {
console.log("data", data);
res.send(data);
});
}
);
the error message I'm getting is:
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 10.28.9.116:9200
at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1133:16)

}
Thank you!

You can set rejectUnauthorized to false. See more here https://nodejs.org/api/https.html#https_https_request_url_options_callback
const https = require('https');
const options = {
hostname: 'encrypted.google.com',
port: 443,
path: '/',
method: 'GET',
rejectUnauthorized: false
};
const req = https.request(options, (res) => {
console.log('statusCode:', res.statusCode);
console.log('headers:', res.headers);
res.on('data', (d) => {
process.stdout.write(d);
});
});
req.on('error', (e) => {
console.error(e);
});
req.end();
