How to ignore certificate verification?

[kevinpostal]

How do you connect without validating the cert?

I've been maintaining the following fork which adds an insecure option for that. It's not a great idea but... https://github.com/quite/irc

I was just looking at jumping onto irc 0.14.0 for that. But I can't get my patch to work! I does work (branch newer).

But, I'd be happy to use cert_path to pass the certificate of the server I want to connect to, but I can't get that to work, it won't verify.
