HTML to markdown and probably certificate issues

HTML to markdown and probably certificate issues

[vbd]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1081 bytes --]

Hi, 

trying pandoc -f html -t markdown https://www.example.com > example.md 

results in

pandoc: TlsException (HandshakeFailed (Error_Protocol ("certificate 
rejected: [NameMismatch \"www.example.com\"]",True,CertificateUnknown)))

note: example.com is not the original url.

It's not a general https issue, because on some other sites the results are 
fine.
Is there an option to skip the certificate validation like wget's 
no-check-certificate
I couldn't find one in pandoc's --help output

Best,
Volker

pandoc version?  Can you provide the actual URL so we can test?

Anyway, no way to turn off validation, but you can try
without https perhaps?

pandoc 1.15.0.6
With http instead of https it works for this URL.

I'm using pandoc often to get markdown documents for better readability.

Will you consider to implement a skip certificate validation option? I 
think it could be sometimes helpful.

And thanks a lot for the great work on my life changing tool pandoc :)

Best,
Volker
