Is there a way to send client-certificates with a request?

[jonescj]

I've been working on a service that has recently had to be changed from HTTP to HTTPS. It needs to be set to read a client certificate from my local machine. Is there currently any way to pass along certificates in the options? I see that there is an example here that kind of asks what I want, but it currently has no answers.

I have to admit, I have not had to use client certificates in a long time, and never in electron, but a quick search gave me this : https://electronjs.org/docs/api/app#event-select-client-certificate

It seems to be for requests done through renderer processes, but maybe it also works with the net api (which electron-fetch uses) ? Not sure, but it's worth a try! I'd love to hear back if you do try it.

Passing a client certificate and key should work like this (if using useElectronNet: false is an option):

import { Agent } from 'https'

const cert = await fs.promises.readFile('path/to/cert.cert')
const key = await fs.promises.readFile('path/to/private_key.key')
const agent = new Agent({ cert, key })
const params = {
  method: 'GET',
  agent: httpsAgent,
  useElectronNet: false
}
const response = await fetch(url, params)
