Description
I'm setting up a staging server which is a cloned version of a production website and I wrote some shell script to automate the synchronization process and renaming the URLs etc.
The production domain is: `www.example.com`
The staging server domain is: `www.example.test`
Staging server uses native OpenLitespeed webserver and it's IP address is `192.168.1.10`.
OLS is listening on this IP and port 443 for a secure connection and uses a self-signed certificate. (generated via OpenSSL)
I've also added these lines to `/etc/hosts` on the staging server to resolve the .test URLs locally:
```
192.168.1.10 example.test
192.168.1.10 www.example.test
```
I'm trying to use WP-CLI in my script to purge Litespeed cache on the staging server, after a successful sync.
I use this command to purge all cache:
```
wp litespeed-purge all --path=/path/to/wp/files
```
However I get this error:
```
Error: Failed to get url 'https://www.example.test/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php': cURL error 60: Peer's certificate issuer has been marked as not trusted by the user..
```
It seems that litespeed uses cURL to send a request to the site to purge the cache and we know it's possible to use cURL with self-signed certificates using `--insecure` option however I think it's not possible to pass this option directly to `wp litespeed-purge`.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? Can someone give me a point to figure it out?

Research direction
Start at the `wp litespeed-purge all` command and trace the request to `/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php`, focusing on the reported cURL certificate error. Review how the plugin handles HTTPS requests and determine what behavior is expected for a self-signed certificate; the issue is resolved when the supported staging setup can purge the cache successfully.
