Hi,
I have images hosted on a local web server using a self-signed
certificate. For example:
https://localhost/images/.../file.png
When using ConTeXt, the image cannot be retrieved; a verified signed
certificate works as expected.
Using wget, self-signed certificates can be forced:
wget --no-check-certificate https://localhost/images/.../file.png
Does ConTeXt have a way to ignore/bypass certificate validation? If so, how?
(Note: the certificate's common name is currently blank, which does
not match 'localhost' -- I can fix that if required...)
Thank you!

a test:
in data-sch.lua you can find:
local function runcurl(name,cachename) -- we use sockets instead or the
curl library when possible
local command = "curl --silent --create-dirs --output " ..
cachename .. " " .. name
os.spawn(command)
end
you can try to add an option there, remake the format and see if that
works i can see if we can add such an option (by default or setup)

Hi,
Adding --insecure works. I think the option should be present by
default, which could save people time trying to understand what part
of the system is preventing the images from being downloaded. (For
example, for me I first checked caching, directory permissions, web
server configuration, and the wiki before posting to the list.)
