Answer 1

Set the rejectUnauthorized option to false.
var https = require('https');
var req = https.request({
hostname: 'example.com',
port: 443,
path: '/',
method: 'GET',
rejectUnauthorized: false
}, function() { ... });

Answer 2

Check the following code:
var http = require('http');
var target = {
host : 'localhost',
port : 3000,
path : 'URL'
//pfx: Certificate, Private key and CA certificates to use for SSL. Default is null.
//cert: Public x509 certificate to use. Default null.
};
var Req_options = {
host: target.host,
port: target.port,
path: target.path,
agent: false,
method: 'GET'
};
callback = function(response) {
var str = ''
response.on('data', function (chunk) {
str += chunk;
});
response.on('end', function () {
console.log(str);
});
}
var req = http.request(Req_options, callback);
req.end();
Updated as per comments:
In the above code, I have changed the https & target only as follows:
var https = require('https');
var target = {
host : 'www.google.co.in',
port : 443,
path : '/'
};
The output is as follows:
</html>
.........
.........
.........
attachEvent&&window.attachEvent("onload",n);google.timers.load.t.prt=e=(new Date).getTime();})();
</script></body></html>
