Disable SSL Certificate Validation in Ballerina HTTP Client

Question

I need to call an endpoint with a self-signed certificate using the Ballerina HTTP client.

import ballerina/http;

http:Client httpClient = check new("<URL>");

Is there a way to disable SSL certificate validation in Ballerina?

Answer 1

Disabling SSL certificate validation in the Ballerina http:Client can be achieved by configuring the secureSocket option in the client configuration.

import ballerina/http;

http:Client httpClient = check new("<URL>", {secureSocket: {enable: false}});
