Description

Hello,

We wanted to ignore a bad SSL certificate temporarily and was wondering how to do this. Unfortunately the documentation did not cover this. I noticed you have the rejectUnauthorized: false flag in your test which does exactly what we need. Would it be possible to add this to the documentation?

Research direction

Start with the rejectUnauthorized: false usage in test/index.js around line 870, then locate the client documentation that describes TLS or certificate options. Document how to temporarily ignore an invalid SSL certificate and ensure the documented option matches the test usage.
