__Proposal:__
Allow an option in the scraper configuration UI to ignore certificate errors.

__Current behavior:__
There is no option and scrapers fail.

__Desired behavior:__
A boolean option to ignore certificate errors.

__Alternatives considered:__
Describe other solutions or features you considered.

__Use case:__
Unsigned and self-signed certificates are common in enterprise situations and are not always updated. Allowing the option will prevent unnecessary missing data.
