Public bug reported:

It would be very useful for QA and devs to have the ability to disable
certificates validation when testing with local/non-production servers.
We need to add an environment variable such that we can switch this off
if needed during testing.

Test case for Oneiric SRU:

NOTE: This is a QA mode feature only and will not affect normal
operation, so the test case is to simply verify that there are no
regressions.

1. Install the version of software-center in oneiric-proposed.
2. Launch Software Center and select the "For Purchase" popup menu item in the "All Software" toolbar item.
3. Select an enticing item from the list and click the "Buy" button (note you will not need to complete the purchase to verify correct operation).
4. Log in to your Ubuntu SSO account. 
5. Select "Credit Card" as your method of payment.
6. Do not fill in any info in the screen that appears. Instead, just scroll down and click the "Cancel" link.
7. After a few seconds, the purchase will be canceled and you will be returned to the Software Center view for the item.
