[Haskell-beginners] HTTPS Get Request with unverifiable certificate

[Friedrich Wiemer]

edit:
if I change the the url from "https://servers-ip/" to
"https://servers-FQDN/" the error changes to:
>*** Exception: TlsException (HandshakeFailed (Error_Protocol ("certificate has unknown CA",True,UnknownCa)))

so the self-signed certificate causes the error.
How can I tell Network.HTTP.Conduit to accept unknown CA's certificates?
