Disable https certs verification

My personal newznab indexer runs on a webserver (Apache) which uses a self signed https cert (created by myself). Since version 0.7.x of SAB, I am no longer capable of using the connection between SAB and newznab because of the self signed cert which is "untrusted" from SAB's point-of-view. I regularly get this error in the main webinterface:

Code: Select all

Server https://indexer/ uses an untrusted HTTPS certificate
Also, the RSS feeds no longer work although the actual RSS feed works just fine with TinyTinyRSS or any other RSS readers. When I go to the RSS feeds, and click "Read Feed" I get a red warning " Server https://indexer/ uses an untrusted HTTPS certificate " and nothing is retrieved from the feed.

Finally, from within the newznab web page, if I click "Send to SAB", this used to work (would send the NZB file directly in SAB) but now it no longer works. Newznab doesnt issue any errors or warnings, but the job never gets added to SAB's queue. This may or may not be related to the "untrusted" certificate but I strongly think it is.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

In 0.8.0 there is a switch in Specials that you can turn off to disable certificate validation.
This is only 0.8+ so you will have to update to the beta or wait a little more for the final.

Completely missed that switch in the Special settings... Thanks for pointing it out!
