Here's a one-liner that completely disables cert verification. Of course a
checkbox would be far superior. If anyone's familar with GTK programming
it looks like it would be added at or around where this patch is applied
(you would also need some code to save the value). But for now I'm not
going to pay for a cert that I don't need so I gotta do what I gotta do.

Thanks,
