Add option to ignore SSL validation

[matt852]

When initializing a pynautobot.api instance with Nautobot, I'd like to be able to ignore SSL validation if possible. This would be helpful specifically for development purposes.

You can disable TLS verification by doing the following:

from pynautobot import api
nb = api(...) # Add parameters
nb.http_session.verify = False

This works because nb.http_session is the Session object (see requests docs) that pynautobot uses to make HTTP requests with.

Thank you, I will do this. Can we add this to the documentation before closing this issue please? I looked but didn't see it anywhere, and I think it'd be really helpful.

It is already in the docs: https://pynautobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced/session.html#ssl-verification
