Hi,

I have images hosted on a local web server using a self-signed certificate. For example:

https://localhost/images/.../file.png

When using ConTeXt, the image cannot be retrieved; a verified signed certificate works as expected.

Using wget, self-signed certificates can be forced:

wget --no-check-certificate https://localhost/images/.../file.png

Does ConTeXt have a way to ignore/bypass certificate validation? If so, how?

(Note: the certificate's common name is currently blank, which does not match 'localhost' -- I can fix that if required...)

a test: in data-sch.lua you can find: local function runcurl(name,cachename) -- we use sockets instead or the curl library when possible local command = "curl --silent --create-dirs --output " .. cachename .. " " .. name os.spawn(command) end you can try to add an option there, remake the format and see if that works i can see if we can add such an option (by default or setup) Hans -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
