[Suggestion] Add option to skip certificate validation #16
Description
I would like to measure how much bandwidth I can trasmit using my personal VPN. I would like to carry my tests behind a HTTPS reverse proxy, so I need NginX and its certificate. Unfortunatly it doesn't seem to work, my guess is because of failed certificate validation (I can't see any verbosity option):
cat server.json
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Librespeed test",
"server": "https://10.1.1.1/",
"dlURL": "librespeed/garbage.php",
"ulURL": "librespeed/empty.php",
"pingURL": "librespeed/empty.php",
"getIpURL": "librespeed/getIP.php"
}
]librespeed-cli --local-json server.json
Using local JSON server list: server.json
Selecting the fastest server based on ping
No server is currently available, please try again later.
If I change "server" with "https://example.org/" the test runs correctly, but it returns results from normal connection, I.E. not inside the VPN. I can also succesfully test with "server" set to "http://10.1.1.1/", as the server instance is also available without the reverse proxy.
Curl has an option to skip certificate validation:
curl https://10.1.1.1/librespeed/
curl: (60) SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name '10.1.1.1'
More details here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.
curl -k https://10.1.1.1/librespeed/
