Is your feature request related to a problem?
I was trying to connect to a model hosted in private network and it was failing with certificate verification irrespective of the security plugin is enabled or not.
So please provide an option to skip certificate verification

What solution would you like?
We can have a ML Commons settings parameter to turn on and off the certificate verification. By default, we can enable the certificate verification.
I tried by attaching below code in HttpClient creation code in the class MLHttpClientFactory.getAsyncHttpClient() and it skipped the certificate verification.
buildWithDefaults(AttributeMap.builder().put(SdkHttpConfigurationOption.TRUST_ALL_CERTIFICATES, true)
