🐛 Bug Report: Enabling self signed certificates for Node SDK doesn't work

[stnguyen90]

👟 Reproduction steps

Run the following code with the correct endpoint, project, and API key.

const sdk = require('node-appwrite');

let client = new sdk.Client();

client
    .setEndpoint('https://[HOSTNAME_OR_IP]/v1') // Your API Endpoint
    .setProject('5df5acd0d48c2') // Your project ID
    .setKey('919c2d18fb5d4...a2ae413da83346ad2') // Your secret API key
    .setSelfSigned() // Use only on dev mode with a self-signed SSL cert
;

let users = new sdk.Users(client);

let promise = users.list();

promise.then(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
}, function (error) {
    console.log(error);
});

👍 Expected behavior

Assuming your Appwrite instance has a self signed certificate, the API call should work.

👎 Actual Behavior

The API call will fail with an error like:

AppwriteException [Error]: self-signed certificate

The way we're handing self-signed certificates is:

process.env["NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED"] = 0;

However, Node does a strict check:

const allowUnauthorized = process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED === '0';

As such, the check fails.

Furthermore, we shouldn't be using this NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED environment variable because it disables TLS for all network requests, but we should only allow self-signed certificates for the Appwrite API calls. Instead of setting NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED, we should be passing an option to axios like we do in the CLI:

options.httpsAgent = new https.Agent({ rejectUnauthorized: false });
