Can't use ignoreSSLIssues because http-builder package is still on 0.6

[mdeimel]

In http-builder 0.7.1 there is a new method available, ignoreSSLIssues(), which is a handy shortcut for ignoring SSL issues (as the method name implies) - this is very handy feature for development. I'll submit a pull request shortly.

How do you invoke the ignoreSSLIssues() method with this change?

[mdeimel]

TL;DR - Use: client.ignoreSSLIssues()

Here's the full example:

@Grab(group='org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder', module='http-builder', version='0.7.1')
import groovyx.net.http.RESTClient
def client = new RESTClient()
def result = client.get([uri: "https://www.pcwebshop.co.uk/"])

The above result will be javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated.

Here's another example, this time it will retrieve the proper result:

@Grab(group='org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder', module='http-builder', version='0.7.1')
import groovyx.net.http.RESTClient
def client = new RESTClient()
client.ignoreSSLIssues()
def result = client.get([uri: "https://www.pcwebshop.co.uk/"])

This will respond a proper 200 OK with the site contents included.

Thanks @mdeimel for the http-builder example! However, I was trying to see how this plugin may implement it (perhaps with an "option" ). Maybe something like:

withRest(uri: "https://www.pcwebshop.co.uk/", ignoreSSLIssues: true) {
  get() { resp, reader ->
    /** Do some stuff here **/
  }
}

Or some "global" in the "config" like (albeit, less useful except for development stuff):

rest.https.ignoreSSLIssues = true

Since I'm using this plugin, I suppose I could just implement the underlying http-builder.... I'll have to think about this....
