For telemetry we are using a persistent session on Gadi to forward post requests to the ACCESS-NRI services django instance. With the current setup, it requires verify=False to be set in request.post() to the persistent session, however this raises a warning:

</path/to/env>/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py:1097: InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made to host '<persistent-session-name>.ps.gadi.nci.org.au'. Adding certificate verification is strongly advised. See: https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced-usage.html#tls-warnings

A fix to this with persistent session sending the correct host might be complicated, or not quite possible on NCI (see https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/426542/how-to-make-ssh-port-fowarding-for-https)
