influx CLI client with -type=flux ignores -ssl and -unsafeSsl flags

Steps to reproduce:
List the minimal actions needed to reproduce the behavior.

1. Setup auth for influxdb with SSL (self-signed certs) -- see config below
2. Create admin/admin user
3. Connect with -ssl -unsafeSsl -type=flux flags
4. Try to query using flux (see below)

Expected behavior:

SSL certificate is accepted.

Actual behavior:

root@monitoring:/data/influxdb# docker exec -it influxdb influx -type=flux -ssl -unsafeSsl -username 'admin' -password  'admin' -host influxdb
Connected to https://influxdb:8086 version 1.8.1
InfluxDB shell version: 1.8.1
> from(bucket:"telegraf/autogen")
Error: Post https://influxdb:8086: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

Environment info:

• System info: docker
• InfluxDB version: 1.8.1
• Other relevant environment details: debian
