TLS / SSL server certificate verification

By default, Pororoca verifies server SSL / TLS certificates on HTTPS connections, and if there are any validation failures, the request will not go forward, like in the picture below.

To disable server TLS certificate check, click on the button on the bottom, or go to the top menu, "Options", and select "Disable TLS verification".
