which can frequently occur across different servers, configurations and hostnames) due to several reasons.
Successful response

Error response
An error response can look something like this (e.g. ENOTFOUND):
{
"success": false,
"error": "HOST_NOT_FOUND_ERROR",
"originalError": {
"errno": -3008,
"code": "ENOTFOUND",
"syscall": "getaddrinfo",
"hostname": "sdfsdfdsfsdfdsfsdfdsf.biz"
},
"executionTime": 62,
"executionOptions": {
"timeout": 2000,
"detailed": false,
"protocol": "https:",
"port": 443
},
"certificate": null
}
Error support
Looking up SSL certificates can naturally generate several errors. This can be due to timeouts, incorrect configuration on the target server, non-existing hostname etc. As such this project already detects the most common errors and returns a standard response.
| Error code | Description |
|----------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
| Corresponding to EPROTO errors. Can occur for several reasons including: (1) There is an error with the certificate (e.g. expired or invalid) (2) SSL configuration issue on the server. |
| TIMEOUT_ERROR
| The request to fetch the SSL certificate timed out (either on the socket level or on the entire e2e flow). |
| SOCKET_ERROR
| The socket connection has failed (this was not previously observed). |
| HOST_NOT_FOUND_ERROR
| DNS error - the provided hostname could not be resolved. |
| CONNECTION_RESET_ERROR
| The connection was reset or closed by the server, equivalent to ECONNRESET code. |
| CONNECTION_REFUSED_ERROR
| The connection was refused by the server, equivalent to ECONNREFUSED code. |
| UNKNOWN_ERROR
| Any other error that was not previously observed - in this case please refer to the originalError
property in the response to get the raw error object. |
