fetch.ignore_sslcert yes still checking ssl cert

[Adam Mercer]

Hi

Anyone know what's going on here? This isn't as pressing now as I
asked upstream to distribute the tarballs over both http and https,
but its still causing a problem with livecheck as the project pages as
over https?

Cheers

Adam
