There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think it should rather say that it still might (depending on TLS backend) load the certificates. I don't think saying "it will verify but ignore the result" helps the user even if it technically is true. This is an area I want to make sure people will not misunderstand so I rather not mention "verify" where it doesn't actually verify...

As a follow-up to PR #2290, extend the documentation of CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER to give a hint that verification will still be performed even though CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER is 0.
