I don't know why you are being downvoted but I'd like to know. I have a very official and very governmental API that isn't properly set up and the official doc says to use curl -k to talk to it. I had a long argument with one of the dev, with a PoC and a live example, about how it was a bad idea, especially considering how it can easily be fixed but... the 'feature' is still there. I suppose the next $2,000 a day consultant will get them the memo.
