API-call via plugin to Server Middleware

Question

I have configured a plugin and a custom Server Middleware extension.

I am able to call functions via my plugin from the server middleware as seen in the snippet below:

Plugin:

async function getPriceInitiator() {

        const response = await axios({
          method: "post",
          url: "http://localhost:3000/api/myCustomServerMiddleware/testFunction",
        });
        return response
      }
    }

Server Middleware:

function testFunction() {
    return "predefindedResponseString";
  });

I can not seem to call API's in the server middleware like:

async function testFunction() {
  try {
    const res = await axios({
      method: "get",
      url: 'https://www.boredapi.com/api/activity',
    });
    return res;
  } catch (e) {
    console.warn(e);
  }
}

Trying to call API's will give me errors like: "certificate has expired" and will always return me an empty data object. What seems weird because I can pass strings in the response, then it does work as shown in the first server middleware snippet.

EDIT: The Certificate error is as follows:

certificate has expired                                                                       13:40:29

What I would recommend is for you to create a "custom-integration" for you special cases, where you can add new layers without any problem. You can check for example the storybook one :)
