調用不會驗證 SSL 服務器證書的主機名，或者允許 HTTPS 協議協商使用自簽名證書。
在開發過程中，開發人員使用測試或自簽名的 SSL 證書構建應用程序。這樣開發人員無需正式請求和驗證 SSL 證書即可測試 HTTPS 功能。然而，大多數情況下會保留使用自簽名證書的代碼，這會導致基于 HTTPS 的 Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) 攻擊。
例 1：以下代碼允許所有 HTTPS 連接的任意 HTTPS 證書：
implementation NSURLRequest (IgnoreSSL)
+ (BOOL)allowsAnyHTTPSCertificateForHost:(NSString *)host
{
return YES;
}
