Hello !

This will probably look like a dumb question, but anyway. Is there any provision and way, in SSL and/or HTTP, to establish a SSL link without trying to assert anything about the server identity? Such that a client (a web browser) would happily use the encrypted tunnel while obviously not offer any guarantee about the real identity of the server but not complain about it too.

Something like a flag in a self-signed certificate that would tell clients : "please I know I'm self-signed and I'm not trying to prove my identity to you, just trying to establish a secure link between both of us, so please don't make too much waves about me being self- signed" ?
