Curl: disable certificate verification

Yeah, you can do that. From curl --help or man curl:

-k, --insecure

(SSL) This option explicitly allows curl to perform “insecure” SSL
connections and transfers. All SSL connections are attempted to be
made secure by using the CA certificate bundle installed by default.
This makes all connections considered “insecure” fail unless -k,
–insecure is used.

See this online resource for further details:
