The ECCO server is sending an SSL certificate chain that includes Entrust intermediate certificates. Since Entrust root certificates have been distrusted by many platforms, this causes certificate validation failures.
This PR works around the issue by bypassing certificate verification in the
netrc_downloader
. While the data transfer is still encrypted disabling certificate verification means we no longer confirm the server’s authenticity, which does introduce some security risks.
