[jira] [Updated] (NUTCH-2648) Make configurable whether TLS/SSL certificates are checked by protocol plugins

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-2648?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Sebastian Nagel updated NUTCH-2648:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
(see discussion in NUTCH-2647)

It should be possible to enable/disable TLS/SSL certificate validation centrally for all http/https protocol plugins by a single configuration property.

Some use cases (eg. crawl a site to detect insecure pages) may require that TLS/SSL certificates are checked. Also a broader, unrestricted web crawl may skip sites with invalid certificates as this is can be an indicator for the quality of a site.
