> When doing an SSL replication, CouchDB does not check the certificate chain. This renders the SSL support absolutely useless since an attacker who is in the position of doing man-in-the-middle attacks can send an invalid certificate and gets all my data (push replication).
> The attached patch passes a verify_fun in ssl_options to ibrowse in order to validate the certificate path. Two new configuration options are introduced: ssl.verify (bool) and ssl.cacertfile (string). Set the latter to a PEM file containing the root CA for your certificate.
> Documentation updates are not included in the patch. Also, error handling is not included (only io:fwrite is used).
