HTTP Check fails on self-signed certificate

[alitheg]

Cabot fails the HTTP check upon encountering my internal services with self-signed certificates. I can't seem to find a way to instruct Cabot to accept this?

No, you'd have to do it yourself... You can see that in https://github.com/arachnys/cabot/blob/master/app/cabotapp/models.py#L499 we're forcing verification for HttpStatusChecks. (One of the things we want to be alerted to is invalid or expired certs).

We could easily have an option to configure this on the individual check level, if you add it I'll definitely merge it in. The only tricky thing to adding something like this if you're not familiar with Django is making sure that it gets added properly to the HttpStatusCheckForm (see https://github.com/arachnys/cabot/blob/master/app/cabotapp/views.py#L136) so the user can actually configure it!
