Simple Axios Function causing an ECONNRESET, unsure how to debug


I am using axios and cheerio to scrape a site viewable through another computer on the same network's localhost. It's normally accessible through this machine via https://<Machine on Network's IP>:<port>

However, I get an ECONNRESET error with not a lot of code to debug, and no leads as to what on either end of the connection could cause the problem.

Specific IP/Port info hidden for privacy

const axios = require('axios');
const cheerio = require('cheerio');

const url = 'https://XX.X.XX.XXX:####';

try {
axios.get(url)
    .then(response => {
        const $ = cheerio.load(response.data);
        console.log(response.data)
    })
    .catch(error => {
        console.log(error);
    })
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }

Running the code gives the following error:

Any guidance would be appreciated


Solution

  • Found the problem,

    I used Dev Tools on Chrome to go to the Security Overview for the page I'm trying to access, the page was listed as having a "non-HTTPS secure origin"

    Thus, I tried making the small change to my url (swapping http for https):

    'http://XX.X.XX.XXX:####'
    

    Got the response almost immediately

    Simple, but glad I found it
