Accepting invalid SSL certificates using WinRT

Viewed 3649

There are scenarios where you want your application to accept invalid SSL certificates (testing environment/ self signed certificates etc).

In the .NET world one would use the ServerCertificateValidationCallback class to do so. Unfortunately the class doesn't exist in a WinRT context.

I need to consume a Web API using WinRT which is hosted on a server without a valid ssl certificate.

How do you accept invalid ssl certificates in WinRT using the HttpClient class or any other appropriate class.

Any help or alternatives would much appreciated.
