httpie uses the value of environment variable REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE to verify if it is present.
Would be nice if xh uses it too.

[ducaale]

It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the docs but it is, in fact, something that HTTPie supports.

The library we use for parsing command-line arguments supports falling back to an env variable so this should be an easy one to implement. Would like to create a PR for it?

Edit: this has been implemented in #146

requests checks both REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE and CURL_CA_BUNDLE, so perhaps we should also look for both.

[ducaale]

So this means we can no longer use the nice API that structopt offers. If that is the case, we should manually check for those env variables inside the from_iter_safe() function and then set cli.verify from there.
