Ember fastboot works with http api host but not with https one

Question

import DS from 'ember-data';

export default DS.JSONAPIAdapter.extend({
  host: 'http://api.theapothecaryshoppe.com',
  // host: 'https://api.theapothecaryshoppe.com'
});

The normal host works, but when I use https, I get this error:

Error: The adapter operation was aborted

Any thoughts why? it really puzzles me.

Your problem seems to be related to your SSL configuration and, more specifically, to the certificate you are using, the CA is not validated correctly.

To make sure this is the case, you can try setting the environment variable NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZEDto 0. This is temporary and for debugging purposes, you should not use it in the production process!
