To ignore SSL certificate verification in cURL, you can use the -k
or --insecure
option. This tells cURL not to validate the certificate presented by the server.
Example
curl -k https://sd.minilyst.com
or
curl --insecure https://sd.minilyst.com
🧠 Best Time to use it:
- Testing on local/dev environments with self-signed certificates.
- Interacting with internal APIs without valid SSL.
- Bypass certificate issues temporarily.
