ACK, this makes sense. VERIFYHOST tells curl to verify that the
passed in hostname matches the cname in the certifcate. VERIFYPEER
tells curl to verify the certificate validaty itself. So we want
to be disabling both when no_verify=1
Daniel
ACK, but CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST should be set to 2 (certificate must
contain a cname and must match, the default) instead of 1 (certificate
must contain a cname, but must not match) when no_verify=0, see
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html#CURLOPTSSLVERIFYHOST
curl_easy_setopt(ctx->curl_handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, noVerify ? 0 : 2);
