Can I skip SSL certificate verification using Download Tool?

I am currently trying to call an API using the download tool, but I want to skip the SSL certificate verification, is there any way to do it in the download tool or do I have to use the run command tool?

I could be wrong, but I think that's dependent on the host you're connecting to and whether it'll accept just http instead of https. That being said, it's highly discouraged to communicate on a non-SSL connection, especially if transmitting sensitive data or auth credentials.

@jrgo I am trying to communicate on a non-SSL connection for some testing. I could call the API using postman but keep getting SSL certificate verification errors when using alteryx download tool.

 

@AkimasaKajitani I tried removing the https:// but end up getting "Timeout was reached"

Hi @WeiXiang20010 ,

 

You can't remove https by this way. It makes you pass the Peer validation. So using this way you have to use https as ever.
