The httpie tools do validate SSL certificates for user-provided URLs, and fail if invalid.
Only its internal version check (update_warnings.py) makes a verify=False call to a
https://packages.httpie.io/latest.json URL, with no security impact besides displaying the information.
Introduced by: https://github.com/httpie/cli/commit/003f2095d4e98b26220802f016a56be38bf9bd8d (v3.2.0)
