how to tell Abdera to ignore invalid cert on localhost

[Philip Durbin <ph...@gmail.com>]

I'm playing around with https://github.com/swordapp/JavaClient2.0 (which
uses Abdera) and pointing it at "localhost" which does not have a valid SSL
cert.

Is there a way I can tell Abdera to ignore the invalid SSL cert on
localhost? With curl I would use -k or --insecure for this.

Thanks,

Phil

p.s. Here's a stack trace:
