Please add a way to specify the verify= argument to httpx.Client

[fisherdog3]

Description

If a non-standard certificate is needed, eg on a corporate network, volare will not work. Reports not connected to the internet with ls-remote. Httpx does not seem to care about the system SSL certs in the usual search dirs but I could be mistaken. Other software which would be affected, conda and pip, do not have any issue connecting as I have installed the required cert. I was able to workaround by rebuilding with the verify= argument in the Client constructor.

Expected Behavior

Should perform an ls-remote

Relevant command

volare ls-remote

Relevant log output

You don't appear to be connected to the Internet. ls-remote cannot be used.

Supporting my claim that HTTPX is not using my certs:
encode/httpx#302

That would've been a nightmare to implement so what I did was: You can now pip3 install volare[truststore] which will use your computer's trust store.

[donn]

Can you confirm this works for you?

[fisherdog3]

This is working for me and I can ls-remote right after install.

Glad to hear! Feel free to open another issue if you run into anything else. :)
