"SSLv3 methods disabled" Error

[ldarren]

nodejs version: 6.1
node-gcm:0.14.3
os:ubuntu-server 14.4

it was ok with nodejs version 4, after updated to 6.1,

gcmSender.send(msg, ids, retry, (err)=>{
  if (err) return console.error(err) // SSLv3 methods disabled
})

anyone facing the same error?

This is very weird! How exactly are you seeing that the SSLv3 methods are disabled?

This is the full error msg

I searched the internet, i couldn't find similar case, this closest issue i can find is nodejs/node#3695

[hypesystem]

I just updated to most recent node (6.2.2) and I am not getting this error.

What are the values you are using for msg, ids, retry? (Obviously don't share anything secret, but what type of arguments are they?)

How did you instantiate your Sender? Did you pass it any options for the underlying request?

[ldarren]

we found the culprit! it is this line
https.globalAgent.options.secureProtocol = 'SSLv3_method'

we added it to support an old oauth server some time ago

@ldarren great that you solved it! Just to be sure: is it correct that this was something in your code, that you have now removed? 😄

[ldarren]

Yes it was in my code, it has nothing to do with node-gcm
