Agent fails to register itself on an XMPP server with an invalid certificate about spade HOT 4 OPEN

The agent constructor already has a verify_security=False flag that should work (it works for me).
A common mistake is to have the username already registered in the server with a different password. Could you check that?

Ok, let me check that use case and I'll try to figure out how to solve it.

Update: I've checked with an XMPP server hosted on a real domain with a valid certificate and it works as intended.

How about something like this?

def register(self, accept_selfsigned = False):
    ....
def start(self, auto_register = True, accept_selfsigned = False):
    ...

I'm not sure how difficult it would be.
Additionally I'm not sure whether differentiation between self-signed and otherwise invalid certificates (outdated, rejected, invalid domain etc) is needed at all, maybe just an accept_invalid flag would suffice while probably simplifying the required code.

The problem is with registering a new account.
If the account is created beforehand, it goes through smoothly; invalid password results in a different error.

I've noticed the verify_security=False flag, but it does not set the STARTTLS to "disabled" or "if-available", and the default value is "required". So my hypothesis is that either the underlying library whines about the cetificate due to the required STARTTLS, or it just ignores the disabled security flag during registration.
