Siddhi http-sink ignore ssl certificate error - ssl

Question

Reading from Siddhi-io-http I can't make sense of how to bypass ssl certification errors (i.e: expired or self signed).
There's a parameter called ssl.verify.client but no information about which values it accepts.
Does anyone knows how to do this?
