How to safely use 'curl ignore cert' for testing without compromising security?

Using curl ignore cert is like driving without a seatbelt—it’s fine until it’s not.

For testing, I’d recommend using a staging environment with valid certs. If you’re stuck with self-signed certs, you can add them to your system’s trusted store.

Check out this guide on how to do it: [link]. It’s a bit technical, but it’s safer than disabling cert checks entirely.
