Is there a way to skip SSL server certificate validation?
I'm trying to hit a local server with a self-signed cert but i get errors of course.
I saw for other plugins that this was added as an option but nothing for http\_poller plugin

Why "of course"? You have the CA cert and can supply it to the http\_poller using the cacert option. And since you are generating your own certs you need never have a problem with a non-name-matched cert.

You are right on that, but i had few problems with the certificate and i wanted to ask that because the Rest Client via browser has also that option.

The http\_poller does not allow you do disable verification. There are other filters where the ability to disable verification was there and was later removed, so I do not expect that to change.
