N8n EPROTO Error

Questions

Hello n8n community,

I’m new to n8n and this is my first attempt at using it to create an AI agent designed to gather information about certain companies. However, I’ve run into an SSL handshake failure issue that I’m struggling to resolve. Below is the error message I’m encountering:

{
  "errorMessage": "write EPROTO 380264C6127F0000:error:0A000410:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert handshake failure:../deps/openssl/openssl/ssl/record/rec_layer_s3.c:1605:SSL alert number 40\n [item 2]",
  "errorDetails": {
    "rawErrorMessage": [
      "write EPROTO 380264C6127F0000:error:0A000410:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert handshake failure:../deps/openssl/openssl/ssl/record/rec_layer_s3.c:1605:SSL alert number 40\n"
    ],
    "httpCode": "EPROTO"
  },
  "n8nDetails": {
    "nodeName": "HTTP Request",
    "nodeType": "n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest",
    "nodeVersion": 4.2,
    "itemIndex": 2,
    "time": "18/03/2025, 17:18:12",
    "n8nVersion": "1.84.1 (Cloud)",
    "binaryDataMode": "filesystem",
    "stackTrace": [
      "...stack trace details..."
    ]
  }
}

I’m trying to use the HTTP Request node to connect to a website, but this SSL error keeps occurring. I’ve tried accessing other HTTPS sites with the same node setup and didn’t encounter any issues, which makes this particularly confusing.

Could anyone offer advice on how to resolve this, or point me towards resources that might help? Any tips for a newbie trying to get the most out of n8n would also be greatly appreciated!

Thank you all in advance for your assistance!

would be possible for you to share the request details, like url, auth, payload, etc over a DM?
Without being able to reproduce this, it’ll be difficult to get it fixed.
