how do I specify a mediawiki URL that requires an SSL certificate?

>>> page = wptools.page**(wiki='xxx')**
xxx (random) 🍭

Thanks for trying wptools, @fredzannarbor!

We use certifi for certificate verification with pycurl.

wptools/wptools/request.curl_setup():

        crl = pycurl.Curl()
        crl.setopt(pycurl.USERAGENT, user_agent())
        crl.setopt(pycurl.FOLLOWLOCATION, True)
        crl.setopt(pycurl.CAINFO, certifi.where())

If you want to provide your own CA bundle, we can expose CAINFO or CAPATH (see curl_easy_setopt docs).

Is that what you're looking for, or something else? How would you expect it to work?
