Well to be fair, the server’s certificate chain is invalid and should be fixed.

And in addition, `:ssl` definitely has limitations and is a salutary example of why rolling your own is something I imagine the Erlang developers would probably avoid if they got to do it over again 🙂

Actually Im being imprecise again. The function to verify peer is something a user provides - perhaps there is an enhanced validation function already out there in the cosmos.
