Can't skip validation of self signed certificate

[ediaz030]

In my development environment my upstream server has a self signed certificate. I have tried using the --ssl-insecure-skip-verify=true option, but I still receive the following error:

2017/06/12 16:46:22 reverseproxy.go:316: http: proxy error: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

I am seeing the same issue.

@ediaz030, which provider are you using? I encountered this with the OIDC provider (#389) due to a bug in Validate in options.go.

Same issue here using GitHub as a provider

#362 added this option by setting a custom http.DefaultClient, but it looks like what needs to be changed is http.DefaultTransport because that's what httputil.ReverseProxy uses if a custom Transport is not set for it.

(DefaultClient defaults to DefaultTransport, but it looks like ReverseProxy does not use DefaultClient)

There appear to be no pull requests that attempt to fix this yet, yours could be the first. (No promises on review or merging though, this repo is somewhat under-maintained.)
