System certificates ignored

[jeffmaury]

Describe the bug

System certificates configured through global agent are ignored by the kubernetes-client.

In Podman Desktop, as nodejs is not using the system certificates, we load them and make them available to various https libraries through the global agent.
But the kubernetes-client is providing its own agent to the node-fetch library and everything configured through the global agent is not taken.
So if we have to connect to a cluster with a certificate generated by a private certificate authority, it is failing but working fine in kubectl.

I can see 2 solutions:

• merge of global agent is done in the kubernetes-client library
• merge of global agent is done outside the kubernetes-client library (overriding applyToHTTPSOptions ?)

Client Version
1.3.0

Server Version
N/A

To Reproduce

Expected behavior

Connect to a cluster with private certificate (kind ?)

Thanks for the diagnosis.

We'd be happy to take PRs that demonstrate the problem in unit test and provide a fix.
