Motivation
In it's current state, Cabot HTTP checks with SSL validation relies on the Python requests module to handle the SSL validation part.
When it comes to validate the server certificate chain, the requests module must know the CA certificate used to sign the presented server certificate. When one want to use Cabot to check an HTTPS server presenting a server certificate signed by a self-signed CA certificate, we need a mean to provide Cabot (and its requests module) with a CA bundle file containing our own certificate.
The python requests module does not use the OS CA certificates store ; instead it uses its own bundle provided by the Python Certifi module.
Changes
This PR introduces a new optional environment variable:
CABOT_HTTP_CHECK_CA_BUNDLEwhich can be used to specify the path of a custom CA cert bundle file.
