HTTP package: need a way to accept bad certificates

I'm trying to read URIs such as http://devblog.paypal.com/feed/ that lead to a bad certificate exception.

Can we add a callback to handle bad certificates in the HTTP package? For .get, .read, etc.?

Simplest reproduce step is: http.read('http://devblog.paypal.com/feed/');

If this was triaged, I don't see where.

In dart.io the HttpClient have a callback to handle bad certificates, e.g.

import 'dart:io';
import 'dart:convert';

void main(List<String> args) {
  var client = new HttpClient();
  client.badCertificateCallback = (_, __, ___) => true;
  client.getUrl(Uri.parse("http://devblog.paypal.com/feed/"))
      .then((req) => req.close())
      .then((resp) => resp.transform(UTF8.decoder).join(''))
      .then(print)
      .whenComplete(() => client.close());
}
