I can see you are using 'ca_file' attribute. So you should use
insecure=True, only when user don't pass ca_file. If you pass
insecure=True we don't validate certificate, but https still can be
used. Preferred is of course using ca_file to validate certificates.
To be clear, do you mean that insecure = True means we don't validate
the server's identity? IOW it would be like using
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER=0 in libcurl?
