title: HTTPS with Self-Signed SSL Certificate Issues... Solution or better way?
body: <p>All I need to do is download some basic text-based and image files from a web server that has a self-signed SSL certificate.</p>
  
  <p>I have been trying to figure out how to use HttpClient to do this, but getting the SSL to work is a nightmare that seems to be way too much trouble for such a simple task.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a better way to perform these file downloads? Perhaps through a WebView or Browser feature?  Reinventing the wheel of making a simple HTTPS GET request is a major pain, and is significantly holding up my development schedule.</p>
