HTTPS client regression?

[japplegame]

After upgrading from 0.7.26-rc.1 to 0.7.26, this code:

requestHTTP("https://steamcommunity.com",
    (scope HTTPClientRequest req) {},
    (scope HTTPClientResponse res) {}
);

causes error:

Task terminated with uncaught exception: Peer failed the certificate validation: 20

I found that reason is commit 7e8fcc4
After reversing appropriate diff, error has gone.

Yeah I noticed the same thing - posted some more details here:

Don't totally understand the surrounding code but it looks like before it was ignoring the fact that it couldn't verify the server certificate for client requests (due to lack of a certificate store) but that new code (:764 in that commit) triggers and fails SSL requests pretty uniformly now.

Interesting it doesn't trigger if you connect to the example HTTPS server. I'm guessing that's because that uses a self-signed certificate or similar which probably hits a slightly different error return in the switch statement below where it ignores it.
