Have you attempted to "do the right thing" ™?
Which is to add the certificate to a trust store, instead of disabling all TLS 
features?

It's actually not that hard and documented here: 
http://typesafehub.github.io/ssl-config/CertificateGeneration.html

Also, you can always drop down to the raw low level Java APIs, as this example 
shows: 
https://github.com/akka/akka/blob/master/akka-http-tests/src/main/java/akka/http/javadsl/server/examples/simple/SimpleServerApp.java
(it's server side, but the same process can be done for client – pretty much)

I have a need (no, not in production) to have an akka-based service contact 
another service using TLS where the remote service is using a self-signed cert.

I've used AkkaSSLConfig to configure the "loose" settings:


val looseConfig = SSLLooseConfig().withAcceptAnyCertificate(true).
  withDisableHostnameVerification(true).
  withAllowLegacyHelloMessages(Some(true)).
  withAllowUnsafeRenegotiation(Some(true)).
  withAllowWeakCiphers(true).
  withAllowWeakProtocols(true).
  withDisableSNI(true)

and despite trying all of the, still get the following exception when trying to 
access the remote service:

     sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: 
sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find 
valid certification path to requested target



It was my impression that the loose config:



    withAcceptAnyCertificate(true)



should have prevented the TLS implementation from trying to verify the cert. 



What am I missing?  What the the correct way to accept self-signed certs using 
akka-http's Http() client?
