title: If CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER is false, is the data transfer no longer secure?
body: <p>I've recently run into a problem posting data to a server whose SSL certificate was updated. I did some research and I found that when CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER is set to false, post date goes through successfully. Can somebody explain the relationship between CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER and _VERIFYHOST? Also, if I set VERIFYPEER to false, am I no longer transmitting the data over a secure connection?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a ton for any help anyone can give.</p>
