+**Features**
+
+* Added an optional parameter to the Connection#initliaze for the SSL mode.  Useful for testing vCloud Director in a lab environment when a real SSL cert is not available.
+
+Normal connection setup:
+
+    connection = VCloudClient::Connection.new(host, user, pass, org, api)
+
+Disable SSL certificate check:
+
+    connection = VCloudClient::Connection.new(host, user, pass, org, api, OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE)
+
