--- Comment #11 from Petr Pisar <ppisar at redhat.com> ---
There is no LWP environment variable or command line option to control that
currently.

It's possible to pass ssl_opts => {SSL_verify_mode =>
IO::Socket::SSL::SSL_VERIFY_NONE} to LWP::UserAgent::new if you write your own
LWP application.

This is also discussed in the upstream report.

The reason why the PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME seemed to work before is the
IO::Socket::SSL < 1.950 defaulted to SSL_VERIFY_NONE. This has not been true
since Fedora 20. Unfortunately Fedora 20 delivered the flawed
LWP::Protocol::https, so it was not visible.

I agree with you that there should be way how to disable the certificate
validation externally.
