certificates are not checked by default. Set ``TLS_VERIFY`` to ``ON`` to
check certificates. If neither ``TLS`` option is given CMake will check

CMAKE_TLS_VERIFY
----------------
Specify the default value for the :command:`file(DOWNLOAD)` and
:command:`file(UPLOAD)` commands' ``TLS_VERIFY`` options.
If not set, the default is *off*.
This setting is also used by the :module:`ExternalProject` module
for internal calls to :command:`file(DOWNLOAD)`.
TLS verification can help provide confidence that one is connecting
to the desired server. When downloading known content, one should
also use file hashes to verify it.
