With the command line tool you cannot avoid this without using -k, as when I
added the option I thought that you mostly _either_ want to verify the cert or
you don't. Of course I could very well agree on adding an option that would
allow this.

In libcurl land however, you have the option to verify the cert part and skip
the host name vs CN checking part. Disable CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST and no CN or
other checks will be used against the host name.
