client.connect() cannot connect to a TLS endpoint when using IP and not hostname

[woopstar]

Trying to connect to an Asterisk server using HTTPS because the asterisk http server is running TLS does not work, if you do not use a hostname with certificate.

Maybe an option to allow it to connect but not validate the certificate when you use the ip to connect directly?

I will have to research this further. If the issue is on the node-ari-client side I expect we'll have to push this upstream as we are dependent on swagger-js to connect to ARI. If the issue has to do with Asterisk itself then https://issues.asterisk.org would be the correct place to get this resolved.

Looks like swagger-api/swagger-js#229 would allow us to skip the cert check in the underlying http client. I'll see if I can find some time to work on this in the coming weeks. In the mean time, contributions are welcome.

@woopstar How did you managed to use TLS with current version of this library?
