With this werk, we have introduced two new optional parameters.
- short option: -D, long option: --disable-cert
You should think very carefully before using this parameter. If invalid certificates are trusted, any certificate for any certificate for any site will be trusted for use. This includes expired certificates. This also introduces significant vulnerabilities, and should only be used as a last resort.
- short option: -p, long option: --server
With this option, the behaviour is similar to the --resolve parameter used with curl. It will resolve to the phsyical address given.
