SSL/TLS support

[JesperTerkelsen]

Currently its not possible to use this java client against a consul server with SSL enabled.
Or even specify the https protocol.

I'll add the ability to provide an SslContext. You can specify https if you supply a raw url as a string.

Via 1599099 you can do something like this:

SSLContext context = SSLContext.getInstance("TLSv1");
TrustManager[] trustManagerArray = {
    NullX509TrustManager.INSTANCE
};

context.init(null, trustManagerArray, null);

Consul.builder().withUrl("https://your-secure-host:8500").withSslContext(sslContext).build();

👍 Nice this is just what i need!

Why a Null trust manager here? Doesn't this undo cert verification/validation?

[rickfast]

yes, but the point of the comment wasn't to explain how Java SSL contexts work, it was to show how to provide it to the API
