override HTTPS certificate failure

[Ben Rubinstein]

If an "https" site has a misconfigured certificate, most browsers will tell 
you what the problem is - and generally give you an option (more or less 
hidden) to ignore the warning and load the resource anyway.

Loading the same resource from LC using libURL, the result is "error 
application verification failure".

Is there any way to override the normal test in LC, as one can in a browser, 
to request that the resource be returned anyway?

(The specific issue here is that the certificate has been issued for 
"www.domain.com", but is being used to certify 
"internaltempmachine.internal.domain.com", but I suppose the question is quite 
general.)

I'd be most keen to hear if there is a solution using libURL; but if there 
isn't, but there is a way using tsNet, that would be good to know.

TIA,

Ben
