bug: appium doesn't start with TLS on node 24

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Appium Version

3.7.0

Appium Host Type

Command Line

Are you using Appium components not maintained by the Appium team?

No response

Is this issue reproducible using the latest components?

• I confirm the issue is still reproducible with the latest component versions

Current Behavior

Starting appium with --ssl-cert-path+--ssl-key-path fails with Error: No such module: http_parser on node v24.20.0. Tested on a fresh appium install with no plugins or drivers. Certificate generated by using command line from https://appium.io/docs/en/3.7/guides/tls/

I am using fnm, but this also happens with nvm.

This does not happen on node v22.23.2, appium launches with TLS and can be used over HTTPS.

Expected Behavior

appium can be started with TLS on node 24
