npm install fails due to expired certificate

[RevillWeb]

When I try to do npm install handbrake-js@2.2.2 (needed due to legacy application) I get the following error:

fetching: http://download.handbrake.fr/releases/0.10.5/HandBrake-0.10.5-x86_64-Win_CLI.zip
stream.js:74
      throw er; // Unhandled stream error in pipe.
      ^

Error: certificate has expired
    at Error (native)
    at TLSSocket.<anonymous> (_tls_wrap.js:1085:38)
    at emitNone (events.js:86:13)
    at TLSSocket.emit (events.js:185:7)
    at TLSSocket._finishInit (_tls_wrap.js:603:8)
    at TLSWrap.ssl.onhandshakedone (_tls_wrap.js:433:38)

Is there anyway I can work around this?

Full output:

npm WARN deprecated har-validator@5.1.5: this library is no longer supported
npm WARN deprecated uuid@3.4.0: Please upgrade  to version 7 or higher.  Older versions may use Math.random() in certain circumstances, which is known to be problematic.  See https://v8.dev/blog/math-random for details.
npm WARN deprecated natives@1.1.6: This module relies on Node.js's internals and will break at some point. Do not use it, and update to graceful-fs@4.x.
npm WARN deprecated core-js@2.6.12: core-js@<3.3 is no longer maintained and not recommended for usage due to the number of issues. Because of the V8 engine whims, feature detection in old core-js versions could cause a slowdown up to 100x even if nothing is polyfilled. Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, the download origin was changed from handbrake.fr to github.com in this commit (released in v4.0.1) as the handbrake.fr origin was unreliable.. Unfortunately, handbrake-js v2 is no longer maintained.. you'll need to fork handbrake-js yourself and test the new origin works in your environment..

btw, i would accept a PR and do a patch release for v2 - if you come up with a fix using the latest download origin..
