Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Added SSL_VERIFY flag.

Added SSL_VERIFY flag as with some of the proxy providers it throws SSL errors like below:

(Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1129)')))

This flag will take "True" or "False" or path-to-ca.crt file.

It helps with not installing and configuring the Proxy CA cert.
