Add option to skip SSL verification

[sugat009]

Can a flag like --ignore-self-signed-certificate that ignores self-signed certificates or --skip-ssl-verification that completely ignores SSL verification be added? This would be very helpful during dev testing where instances may or may not be SSL-signed.

We should be able to do the axios calls with a custom agent that sets rejectUnauthorized: false. (Kinda unrelated, but I wonder if we actually need axios or if we would be fine with just calling fetch?)

I am tempted to say this should just be default behavior. 🤔

For the workaround, I used the https.Agent from node:https.

...
import https from 'node:https';
...
const instance = axios.create({
  httpsAgent: new https.Agent({
    rejectUnauthorized: false,
  }),
});

...
      await instance.post(path, { docs });
...

Even for fetch the solution is somewhat similar. It includes using a custom agent there as well.

For scripting purposes, an environment variable could be set it seems.
