[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#841981: nodejs should recommend ca-certificates

[Daniel Lo Nigro]

Package: nodejs
Version: 4.6.0~dfsg-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When CA certificates are not available, Node.js scripts that try to connect to remote servers using TLS/SSL fail with "Error: unable to get local issuer certificate".

Other packages that rely on TLS (such as wget and libcurl3-gnutls) recommend the ca-certificates package, so nodejs should probably also do this.
