The intended use of libURLGetServersThatBypassCertificateVerification and libURLSetServersThatBypassCertificateVerification is for getting servers to store with your app prefs and for restoring the saved settings when your app starts up. I still need to add a handler that adds to the list. > It will also be simpler to use: > > - get url > - verification failure > - ask user if they want to trust the host anyway > - turn off verification for that host > In my original implementation in my custom version of libURL I set up a repeat loop around the code that fetches data from the server. My libURL library allows you to define a callback that would be called if an SSL cert error occurred. I would display a dialog that looks similar to the one you see in Safari and let the user decide. The logic looks like this: repeat get url no errors? exit repeat did an ssl error occur? is a callback defined? send the callback did user say bypass? add to list of servers that ignore verification and try again in next repeat loop did user say cancel? exit repeat end repeat It got the job done for what I needed. I am a little hesitant to add it in to libURL as I’m not entirely sure of the implications of the repeat loop. I was going to start with adding the ability to get/set the servers and add a server to the list. That way a developer could check the result themselves and prompt the user. Ideally it would all happen from within libURL though. I’m not sure I have the time to think through all of the implications and do the testing necessary to submit the change to libURL.
