Canary heartbeat check, ignore ssl on https url

Question

Hi,  
  
My canary check seems to be breaking on the following step  
ERROR Request failed. ErrorText: net::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID. Request: url: https://  
  
It seems that its due to it being via https but not having a valid cert. I was wondering if there is a option similar to curl -k that will ignore the certificate and procede with the check.  
  
My check is already in the same vpc/subnet as my instance and the security group should give it access to it, so i do not believe this might be the issue. My application also does not accept traffic via http only https.  
  
Please let me know if there might be a work around/solution.
