📄 Description

When the endpoint is an OpenAI API Compatible that used a corporate CA (effectively self-signed), it doesn't verify when using https. After a lot of trial and error, we were able to get it validated via two specific env variables. Wanted to contribute the documented fix to the community. First time PR, so please let me know if there's anything I need to change.
