I am wondering how to trust a certificate manually in VLC. My purpose is to open a stream over https. gnutls returns an error: the common name of the certificate sent by the remote site is "*.example.com", which does not match "foo.bar.example.com" (because of the dot).

So I would like to tell VLC that this certificate can be trusted. This can be done easily in Firefox for instance (it offers to add a security exception). How do you do it in VLC ?
