Beta
Disables validating server SSL certificates by setting the SSL socket factory using SslUtils#trustAllSSLContext() for the SSL context and SSLSocketFactory#ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER for the host name verifier.
Be careful! Disabling certificate validation is dangerous and should only be done in
testing environments.
