Weechat 0.3.5 doesn't accept self-signed SSL-certificates

Hello,

I just upgraded from Kubuntu 11.04 to Xubuntu 11.10 by deleting the partition and re-installing it, copied the old .weechat-dir into my new ~ and when I want to connect to my own bouncer it diesn't accept the SSL-certificate (on 11.04 it did) (I generated it by myself using znc -p, so of course it is not a valid CA). Both versions were from the ubuntu-repo, now i'm using 0.3.5-1.

Thank you for your help

Somewhere there is a database of trusted CAs to which you can add your own CA Certificate. No idea what weechat uses, but the system-wide ones are under /etc/ssl/certs, /etc/pki/tls/certs or /usr/share/ca-certificates. Some apps maintain their own private list, however.
