Description
I have a test firewall to try pandevice without any valid SSL certificate. In order to work with XML APIs of Palo Alto, I use curl -k -X .
I am trying to use pandevice.
pandevice.errors.PanURLError: URLError: reason: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:579)
I guess its warning on the SSL certificate. Is there a way, I can ignore the certificate checks?

Research direction
The report names pandevice and its XML API path but no file or test. Start by reproducing the CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED error against the test firewall and trace where the SDK creates its HTTPS request. Done means the behavior is supported and documented without weakening default certificate validation.
