How to pass the -k or --insecure argument to curl in the R package "httr"?

Question

How to pass the -k or --insecure argument to curl in the R package "httr"?

TLDR: I'm getting an error message saying:

schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: SEC_E_UNTRUSTED_ROOT (0x80090325) - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.

According to this thread, I've got to force curl into ignoring certificate errors, thus requiring the argument -k or -insecure. A quick Google search led me to set_config(config( ssl_verifypeer = 0L )), that did absolutely nothing...

Does anybody know the correct httr syntax to properly command curl to ignoring that error?

r

curl

httr

Update: I got the issue fixed with this command:

httr::set_config(httr::config(ssl_verifypeer = 0L, ssl_verifyhost = 0L))
