the documentation lists a couple of ssl configs which can be set a for a http request:

> SSL arguments:
> 
> - require\_ssl\_verification = NetworkOptions.verify\_host(host), pass MBEDTLS\_SSL\_VERIFY\_REQUIRED to the mbed TLS library. “… peer must present a valid certificate, handshake is aborted if verification failed.”
> - sslconfig = SSLConfig(require\_ssl\_verification)
> - socket\_type\_tls = MbedTLS.SSLContext, the type of socket to use for TLS connections. Defaults to MbedTLS.SSLContext. Also supported is passing socket\_type\_tls = OpenSSL.SSLStream. To change the global default, set HTTP.SOCKET\_TYPE\_TLS = OpenSSL.SSLStream.

I found that there is a `MbedTLS.SSLConfig(cacert, keyfile)`, however I am on kubernetes and I only have the ca.cert file and no keyfile.

With curl I have the `--cacert` option, how to do this with HTTP.jl and MbedTLS?
