Supporting self-signed certificates

[aral]

I’m using a self-signed certificate in development (local testing only) via a basic Git HTTPS server in Node.js.

I see that the option to skip the certificate check was removed in d2bdd34 — has anything changed since then? How do we support skipping the cert check (ala git config --global http.sslVerify false via CLI) in Objective-Git?

(“We need to re-enable it” is a valid response but I didn’t want to do that without having a chat about it.) :)

Update: I made the development server run over HTTP to avoid the issue. Would be nice to know what the recommended flow is for self-signed certs for the future though (I’d like to keep the dev/production environments as close as possible.)

Yeah, it looks like we just haven't added support back in since we removed it. Pull requests welcome 😄
