TLS Communication Error in Rust Node.js Addon Built with napi-cli

[alexxxcs1]

I have a Rust project that wraps functionalities into a Node.js addon using napi-rs for Node.js integration. The project was created and packaged into a Node-addon using napi-cli. Due to restrictions at my company where Git Actions are unsupported, I am using GitLab Pipeline for builds, utilizing a lower version CentOS image(x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu).

The Rust application, when statically linked and running normally under Rust 1.75 and Node.js 18 environments, encounters an issue after being built as a Node-addon with napi-cli. Specifically, the addon uses reqwest for HTTP requests, which fail due to communication errors related to outdated TLS(tsl1.2) versions, need tsl1.3 (all other application logic runs correctly).

I attempted to address this by modifying the openssl dependency with openssl = { version = "0.10.52", features = ["vendored"] }, but this approach failed during build without informative error messages.

Could you please advise on how to proceed?
