Currently it's hard to make elasticsearch-appender work with https. Of course there is always the solution to register certificates into jvm but it's not handy especially if you have certificates with only 1 year validity, then you'd need many things to manage. If you let this method protected, people can override this method, override the ElasticsearchWriter, so when they want to trust all certificates, they can do it.
