HTTPS certificate issue - can these be ignored?

[ashewring]

I've run across a similar issue to https://github.com/stevenvachon/broken-link-checker/issues/58:

$ blc https://colab.aut.ac.nz/ Getting links from: https://colab.aut.ac.nz/ Error: unable to verify the first certificate

I have to use the -k option for curl to work correctly:

$ curl -ik https://colab.aut.ac.nz/

Without this option, curl reports "(60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate" (More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html)

Could a flag be provided so that this certificate failure can be ignored? Loading the page in the browser works fine, so I would like to mimic that rather than be strict about certificates.

Are they ignored in the v0.8.0 branch?:

npm install stevenvachon/broken-link-checker#v0.8.0

Yes, 0.8.0 works :) When do you plan to publish it as the "official" blc?

I think this is a duplicate of #42. Closing.
