> This is the pull request #164 from Soggard:
> [https://github.com/apache/manifoldcf/pull/164]
> ??We noticed that in some case, when using the new "Force the inclusion of
> redirections" option in the Web Crawler Connector, we encounter SSL
> certificate error. This happens when whe try to get the final URL from a
> redirection in order to add it to the seed.??
> ??We can fix this by disabling SSL verification while getting final URL from
> pages with redirections. The unchecked certificates should not cause any
> problems, since it's only about adding the new host to the seed. All usual
> checks will be applied during the indexing.??
> ??Note that when fetching the final url, we do not take into account the
> connector's graphical option to able or disable certificate validation:
> certificates are always ignored. Still, once the actual crawling takes place
> when the final list of seed hosts is established, the option about
> certification validation is respected again.??
> We can consider this for ManifoldCF 2.28.
