[SOLVED] Same request in Node JS is failing in Electron

Same request in Node JS is failing in Electron

So I am using request module in a simple script I wrote. I sent a POST request to a website and I receive the correct status code (201), but if I run the script with electron (electron test.js) the request doesn't work (status code 403).

Can anyone shed some light on why this might be?

Thanks!

Solution

Turns out it was the ciphers in the Electron request were different... Changing them back to the standard request ciphers seemed to fix it!

request({
  url: "example.com",
  ciphers: "ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!RC4:!MD5:!PSK:!SRP:!CAMELLIA"
})
