Chinese instances are due to many chinese networks doing MiTM so instead of flooding the user with errors, they just disable certificate verification altogether.

And i cannot sign in because of 2fa enforcement...

_THIS_ is why we can't have nice things.

What on earth is going on here? libcurl surely can't actually have 140,000 source files.

We're gonna run outta CVEs!

let's hope it's just for running test locally without having the hassle of setting up self-signed certificates...

I imagined the number to be much smaller in code tbh. Some portion might be related to one of the reasons people turn it off on cli too maybe?
If you google most cert error messages many stackoverflow top answers are "use this flag that i didn't explain what it does but it will make it work"

Rename the option in the next release. 😈

Well, maybe it is time to deprecate and remove the option. Learning by pain for a better world. At least it will be funny to see how half the internet breaks and all the IT people running around, waving hands and swearing. 😂

Certainly 140k occurrences is good enough for AI to label this as good code/practice and suggest it in new code ...
