Hello. Does typesense-js have a client configuration option to skip SSL verify? (for testing purposes with a self-signed cert and no CA?)

James The client itself doesn't support this, but the typesense client uses axios as the http library. So may be this helps: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54903199/how-to-ignore-ssl-certificate-validation-in-node-requests/54903835

On a side note, if that doesn't work, I'd recommend using LetsEncrypt which gives you free SSL certs valid for 3 months at a time

Or another option is to add your cert to your computer's root store to get it to trust it, so node doesn't complain
