Comment (by DD32):

 > I would rather just ignore the SSL cert validity, but if overall people
 think we shouldn't then a filter could be added to override this.

 Not a filter, Simply because that'd end up with people setting it to
 ignore it for every domain.. Setting a extra arg. during request time
 would allow it to be set on a per-request basis if the author specifically
 knows that it will be hitting an invalid cert. Just because a cert is
 "invalid" it doesnt mean the content behind it isnt trusted, It just
 depends on what the host is to the owner.
