Originally created by @wadabum on GitHub (Nov 1, 2023).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/axllent/mailpit/issues/204

My QA-Env. has "real" domains bent back to itself in /etc/hosts, using a self-signed certificate.

LinkCheck results in "all errors" with Cannot connect to server
DevTools/API reveals this as StatusCode: 0, Status: "certificate signed by unknown authority" in the json-response

As minimal fix, some general "link-check-ignore-https-errors" flag would be nice. (as example Puppeteer´s "ignoreHTTPSErrors")

The ultimate fix would also allow to directly specify the to-be-allowed-certificate/CA
(imagine --link-check-no-verify [false]|true|/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem) (as example see Guzzle´s verify options)

in addition to that I´ve noticed:

HTML screenshots exhibits the same issue (in /proxy?url=... URLs)
Get "https://...": tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

so when adding a flag for allowing link-checker this should be implemented here too,
-> with either the same --arg-switches or one for each I dont know ;-)

@wadabum I am really trying to minimize the number of CLI arguments (and environment variables), so I am in favour of a single generic flag, something like --ignore-tls-errors which one can optionally apply, and be used for multiple things (including SMTP). I need to give this some thought first as it should be clear what it does (and not confuse users).

@wadabum I have added an option for this in v1.10.0 (env MP_ALLOW_UNTRUSTED_TLS or --allow-untrusted-tls). Please confirm this solves your issue?
