I wanted to incorporate a method to get an SSL certificate from a server, show the user the same kind of information as you'd see in a browser, prompt them for validity, then write it to disk for use in all requests to a server. I was unable to find any great / easy ways that incorporated all of these concepts into one neat thing. So I made a thing. Originally this was based off of yet another lovely over-engineered solution in get-ca-py by Josh Peak.
