I was able to connect to a postgres database that uses a self-signed certificate and received no warning that the certificate could not be validated. While users should not be prevented from connecting to a certificate that cannot be validated, they should be warned.

libpq has no option to warn about self-signed certificates. But it has the currently unsupported sslmode verify-ca and verify-full - which PR!#2842 adds support for.
