-------------------------------+-------------------------------
 In #28647 we say that it's ok that the destination certificate is self-
 signed.
 There was no any documentation about how sbws could accept self-signed
 certificates and the default was hard-coded.
 There're different ways to validate certificates with Python requests
 (http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#ssl-cert-
 verification), but the only one implemented is to don't verify the
 certificate.
 The simpler way to accept self-signed certificates is to don't verify it.
 When using this option, there're urllib3 warnings that should be disabled.
