When running the daemon the daemon fails to start due to being unable to contact http://kz0q.com/daemon-releases

Can this be disabled in config and/or at the very least allow the get latest releases to gracefully fail and still allow the reporter to work

Sorry just found this is already reported as an issue but for other reasons. I echo the need to allow this to gracefully fail or disable it in its entirety

Thank you but my issue here is not about http or https. I have a system that is behind a firewall so I prefer to run this without having to put holes in the firewall for unnecessary connections so it would be better if this failed gracefully and continued rather than killing the entire thing in this instance
