This option makes curl skip the verification step with a 22proxy and proceed without checking. 23 24When this option is not used for a proxy using HTTPS, curl verifies the 25proxy's TLS certificate before it continues: that the certificate contains the 26right name which matches the hostname and that the certificate has been signed 27by a CA certificate present in the cert store. See this online resource for 28further details: **https://curl.se/docs/sslcerts.html** 29 30**WARNING**: using this option makes the transfer to the proxy insecure. 31
