Add option to ignore SSL verification about alertmanager-irc-relay HOT 4 CLOSED

Found the setting:
ircConfig.SSLConfig = &tls.Config{InsecureSkipVerify: true}

So solved by rebuilding from src, but would be nice with option.

Hi Robin,

thank you for the request.

I can add such option, but I'd like to understand a bit better your scenario.

Why it is acceptable to connect even if the cert cannot be trusted? Why not connect without SSL directly at this point?

Thank you,

We just havn't gotten around to change the SSL-cert yet so it's not a big issue really. It's just that normally you see clients having such an option to ignore cert-warnings. We use our irc-server somewhat publically aswell so we would like to keep SSL on only, that's why we only have SSL on.

If you can add the option it would be great, so I don't have to rebuild the src as I deploy the setup with ansible :)

Thank you!
