It defaults +to @code{nil} for now but will likely be changed to @code{t} later, +meaning that all certificates will be verified. + +There are two checks available currently, that the certificate has +been issued by a trusted authority as defined by +@code{gnutls-trustfiles}, and that the hostname matches the +certificate. @code{t} enables both checks, but you can enable them +individually as well with @code{:trustfiles} and @code{:hostname} +instead. + +Because of the low-level interactions with the GnuTLS library, there +is no way currently to ask if a certificate can be accepted.
