This option explicitly allows curl to perform "insecure" SSL connections and
transfers. All SSL connections are attempted to be made secure by using the CA
certificate bundle installed by default. This makes all connections considered
\&"insecure" fail unless --insecure is used.
By default, every SSL connection curl makes is verified to be secure. This
option allows curl to proceed and operate even for server connections
otherwise considered insecure.
The server connection is verified by making sure the server's certificate
contains the right name and verifies successfully using the cert store.
