NodeMCU HTTP How to use HTTPS post request

0 votes

So, I am using the NodeMCU firmware with its  HTTP module. The code is from the link. As per this documentation, both HTTP and HTTPS URLs should be working just fine. I keep getting an error when I use HTTPS.

https://nodemcu.readthedocs.io/en/master/en/modules/http/#httppost

"The plain HTTP request was sent for HTTPS port".

http.post('https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/......',
        'Content-Type: application/json\r\n',
        '{"value1":"mainlobby"}', function(code, data)
        if (code < 0) then
            print("HTTP request failed")
        else
        print(code, data)
        end        
  end

kindly, help out. Thanks.

Your firmware might not have SSL/TLS enabled. That's my suspicion. So, it would internally use HTTP instead of HTTPS. Still, send it to port 443.
