Cannot call IFTTT maker webhooks from device - SSL error

If you are asking a question, please follow this template:

  1. My goal is:
    Use JS Post to call an IFTTT webhook
  2. My actions are:

I have configured an IFTTT maker webhook, which when opened through browser works and I get a notification.

Howevery when I send it from the ESP8266 device:

HTTP.query({

            url: 'https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/MY_TOPIC/with/key/MY_KEY',

            headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json'},

            success: function(){

                print('Notification sent successfully...');              

            },

            error: function(err){

                print('Notification not sent, error: ' + err);              

            },

    });

I keep getting a ssl error

  2. My expectation & question is: [describe your expectation and your question]

I also checked the example here GitHub - Tommystus/iftttMaker: Example IFTTT maker event trigger using Mongoose OS
I tried to add some ca certificates to ca.pem, but did not help.
Is my ca.pem incomplete or wrong ?

Found a similar topic

So, there is no solution to the problem when making a SSL POST query in JS ?

IIRC, that is indicating that your key has been signed with a hash that is no longer supported. I don’t remember right now, I had that very same problem when playing around with old keys and new browsers. Wherever you got that key/certificate, sign it again or generate a new one with a more up to date engine.
Search for that string for more info, I didn’t navigate more than one or two Google responses before I came out with the proper reason correctly explained.
