> If the flag "ssl_skip_hostname_check" is explicity set to "false", but no trustfile is given, the python client create an insecure connection without a warning or error.
> The following command line illustrates the problem:
> spout.py  --broker <hostname>:5671 --connection-options "{  username : 'guest', ssl_certfile : <path_to_client.pem>, protocol : 'amqp0-10', sasl_mechanisms : 'DIGEST-MD5', ssl_skip_hostname_check : 'false', password : 'guest', transport : 'ssl' }" --count 1 --sync-mode None "amq.topic;{}"
> No trustfile was given, but ssl_skip_hostname_check was set to false. This implies that the user wants to check the hostname. But without a valid trustfile, that is not possible. In this case, the connection should not silently succeed with an insecure connection.
