Cro::HTTP::Client: Server certificate verification failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain

[wbiker]

I want to use the cro client to fetch a rss xml from a server which uses a self signed certificate. Its in our work network so I do not care about man-in-the-middle attach and so on.
The error

comes from IO::Socket::Async::SSL module and according to its docu I have to give the insecure => True parameter. But I did not find a way to give that to cro::HTTP::Client.
Client.new(secure => False) did not what I want.

I did not think it is a bug. But the docu did not help with that issue.
Thanks for helping!

I have a similar issue which I can't work around on because there seems no way to set IO::Socket::Async::SSL parameters.

Died because of the exception:
    Tried to get the result of a broken Promise

I just found a workaround as the ca parameter is in fact passed to Cro::TLS unmodified:

my $client = Cro::HTTP::Client.new:
    ca => {
        insecure => True
    };

for using with the get call:

Cro::HTTP::Client.get($url, ca=> { :insecure })
