If not already possible, I suggest that we allow the use of a certificate validation callback (it isn't possible for 2.7, I just hacked in one yesterday to allow me to ignore out-date-failure for certificates.) Using this, it would be possible to e.g. emit warnings when certificiate failures occur, rather than deny connection outright.

That's a possible transition measure indeed.

Antoine.
