How to get CEP Nodejs use the OS truststore?

Question

I noticed that CEF honors the OS truststore, as it properly loads, e.g., img when I added a selfsign CA to the OS truststore.

However, this is not the case with Axios queries. In this case, I had to explicitly add the CA in the https.Agent to make it work. Axios documentation seems to say that it should also be using the OS truststore, but I haven't tried this in the normal Nodejs environment.

I'm asking as it's a bit awkward to make the user both 1) add CA to the truststore and 2) add the CA so it can be read by the extension. It would be nice if the internal Node could use the same truststore as CEF uses.

Any thoughts on this? TIA.
