Description
Is there a way to validate a server side SSL certificate with unirest? It looks like you delegate to urllib2 to handle all of your SSL, which AFAIK, does not do so.
May want to consider porting to urllib3 (the same foundational library requests uses) in order to get better support here.

Research direction
Start by tracing how unirest delegates SSL handling to urllib2 and determine what certificate validation it currently provides. Compare the requested urllib3 migration and define the expected validation behavior before identifying tests that demonstrate successful and failed certificate checks.
