Questions / Help

Hello guys , I am using httpoison client to make http requests but I am getting this response

{:error,
 %HTTPoison.Error{
   id: nil,
   reason: {:tls_alert,
    {:certificate_expired, 'received CLIENT ALERT: Fatal - Certificate Expired'}}
 }}

I have tested on both erlang version 22 and 23 , and I am getting the same error.
These are my settings ;

 HTTPoison.post("https://test.elearning.com/webservice/restjson/server.php",[], [ssl: [versions: [:"tlsv1.2"] , verify: :verify_none], recv_timeout: 5000 ])

I need some guidance on what I am doing wrong .
Thanks in advance

According to the error certificate is expired… What if you try to ignore certificate? providing option hackney: [:insecure]

  HTTPoison.post("https://test.elearning.com/webservice/restjson/server.php",[], [
    hackney: [:insecure], 
    ssl: [versions: [:"tlsv1.2"] , verify: :verify_none], 
    recv_timeout: 5000 
  ])
