SSL verification fails with self-signed/internal certs unless verification is manually disabled

[shakthinee-s-tt0269]

When connecting to a Qdrant instance using HTTPS with a self-signed/internal CA certificate, qql connect fails with SSL verification errors.

Example:

qql connect --url https://ip:6333 --secret

Error:

Connection failed: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1000)

The same setup works only when SSL verification is explicitly disabled in other clients/tools (curl -k, verify=False in Python client).

Environment:
Qdrant version: 1.18.0
Deployment: HTTPS with internal/self-signed certificate

Questions / Feature Request
Is there currently a supported way to:
skip SSL verification for self-signed/internal deployments?
provide a custom CA bundle?
If not, would it make sense to support something like:
--verify=false
--ca-cert
