Also: if I understand correctly based on quick search, the regular
dart:io HttpClient simply doesn't honor user-installed certificates at
all and there's no way to change that at the moment [0]? So adding this
dependency is necessary because it's one of the few ways (or maybe the
only way at the moment) to allow using user-installed certificates,
right? Just asking because I think it's always good to have some
rationale for additional dependencies. Might make sense to add this to
the commit message as well, I think.
