VerifySecurityCertificates
is an option for URLRead and related functions that specifies whether to verify security certificates when making an HTTPS connection.
Details

- With VerifySecurityCertificates->True, no HTTPS connection will be made to a host unless SSL certificates are successfully verified with a third-party authority.
- With VerifySecurityCertificates->False, no attempt is made to verify SSL certificates before a connection is made.
- VerifySecurityCertificates->False should typically be used only when certificates cannot be externally verified because they are self generated.
