C# Ignore certificate errors?

Question

I am getting the following error during a web service request to a remote web service:

Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure c

Answer 1

This code worked for me. I had to add TLS2 because that's what the URL I am interested in was using.

ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback +=
    (sender, cert, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => { return true; };
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
    client.BaseAddress = new Uri(UserDataUrl);
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new
      MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
    Task response = client.GetStringAsync(UserDataUrl);
    response.Wait();

    if (response.Exception != null)
    {
         return null;
    }

    return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(response.Result);
}
