Apache HTTP Client (version 4.5) that ignores certificate warnings/errors

CarelessHttpsClient.scala

import java.security.cert.X509Certificate

import org.apache.http.config.RegistryBuilder
import org.apache.http.conn.socket.{ConnectionSocketFactory, PlainConnectionSocketFactory}
import org.apache.http.conn.ssl.{NoopHostnameVerifier, SSLConnectionSocketFactory, TrustStrategy}
import org.apache.http.impl.client.{CloseableHttpClient, HttpClients}
import org.apache.http.impl.conn.PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager
import org.apache.http.ssl.SSLContextBuilder

object CarelessHttpsClient {

  val instance: CloseableHttpClient = {
    val trustStrategy = new TrustStrategy {
      override def isTrusted(x509Certificates: Array[X509Certificate], s: String) = true
    }
    val sslContext = new SSLContextBuilder().loadTrustMaterial(null, trustStrategy).build()
    val sslSocketFactory = new SSLConnectionSocketFactory(sslContext, new NoopHostnameVerifier)
    val socketFactoryRegistry =
      RegistryBuilder.create[ConnectionSocketFactory]()
          .register("http", PlainConnectionSocketFactory.getSocketFactory)
          .register("https", sslSocketFactory)
          .build()
    val connectionManager = new PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager(socketFactoryRegistry)
    HttpClients.custom()
        .setSSLContext(sslContext)
        .setConnectionManager(connectionManager)
        .build()
  }
}

Thank you! :)
