Just started using RCurl to read XML data from URL on HTTPS and I have been getting errors complaining about certification, so I was wondering if anyone knows a way to ignore certification and have some examples. I know ignoring certification can be done in java, python and C#, just not sure how it is done in R with RCurl.

You can the the ssl.verifypeer option:

options(RCurlOptions = list(ssl.verifypeer = FALSE))

but as all the sites warn you this should be the last resort since you will be throwing all the security SSL gives you out of the window.
