Having a configurable option to disable a security setting is a pretty bad idea. Users who don't know anything about security will just disable it forever the first time an app tells them to.

- dogma1138 10y agoNo there shouldn't be a configurable setting; giving users a choice just creates problems; giving developers a way out just delays implementation. As long as there is a way for an App to make non-SSL connection you'll have to run a non-SSL enabled endpoint; which in effect can put users at risk even if they haven't configured their own devices/apps to use it.
