Re: NSURLConnection SSL connection with expired cert.

I don't think this is in any way documented and  can break at any 
time, but after looking around for a while I found this method:

@interface NSURLRequest (NSHTTPURLRequest)
+ (BOOL)allowsAnyHTTPSCertificateForHost:(id)fp8;
+ (void)setAllowsAnyHTTPSCertificate:(BOOL)fp8 forHost:(id)fp12;

@end


@implementation NSURLRequest(NSHTTPURLRequest)

+ (BOOL)allowsAnyHTTPSCertificateForHost:(NSString *)host
{
   return YES;
}

@end
