Hi,

Can you please provide the solution for the above issue ??

[kalinichenko]

I ran into the same problem and in my case using a proxy server caused a problem. To be more specific an error was occurred doing a POST to https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token
glad if it helps.

[sourav2029]

As @kalinichenko mentioned , the error is because you are behind a proxy , Try running it without proxy . Hope it should work beacause it worked for me .

[netpoetica]

@jaredhanson What is the appropriate path for making sure that the solution to this problem isn't just "don't use a proxy"? I don't think the issue will be able to be solved in the light layer of passport - it's much deeper in the oauth lib. Just as an FYI there is a PR here for it: ciaranj/node-oauth#294

Maybe with a request coming from you, the author of oauth lib will consider merging this PR, which will allow you to close this open issue. I'm quite certain every other passportjs plugin/strategy has the exact same problem though
