Re: {verify, verify_peer} warning or error

Thanks. This works:

Url = "https://content.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos",
httpc:request(get,
    {Url, []},
    [{ssl, [
        {verify, verify_peer},
        {cacertfile, "/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"},
        {depth, 3},
        {customize_hostname_check, [
            {match_fun, public_key:pkix_verify_hostname_match_fun(https)}
        ]}]}
    ],
    []).

Shouldn't we have easy to use defaults?
