[nfoSceneParser] request library fails on self signed SSL certificates

[buubbs]

I've enabled SSL by adding a stash.crt and stash.key to my stash directory. It is a self signed certificate.

When I try to use the regex parser the logs indicate that the SSL/TLS handshake fails. To fix it, we can add a verify=false as a parameter to the requests.post call. Probably a better fix is to seed this verify param with something from config.yml.

One option would be to use a fallback in the connection code such that if we hit an exception due to an untrusted certificate, the logic could check if stash.crt exists. If that file is there, we could at least retry the connection using that as the cert to see if it succeeds. Better would be some logic in the interface that allows you to explicitly trust a given private root CA or self-signed certificate, but that'd be a lot more to add. :)

you can also add the certificate to your trusted root store, which cuts out all the configuration hassle
