Hi Willy,

Oh, great. I see you already updated the docs.

What I'm asking myself:
is it a good idea to default to "verify none", instead of "verify required"
on the backend? Incomplete configurations will be vulnerable to MITM.

Usually applications default to the secure behavior with the possibility to
connect without server certificate verification (this way, they are forcing
the user to at least think about certificate validation if its not OK).

Otherwise users may simplificate with the its-ssl-so-its-secure thinking.


If we want to change the default-behavior, I would rather do it know - short
and sweet - than when we are more close to a stable release.




Best regards,

Lukas
