+This file is part of Ardupilot methodic configurator. https://github.com/ArduPilot/MethodicConfigurator
+
+This script is designed to fetch, validate, and save SSL certificates for a specified host.
+It utilizes the Python standard libraries ssl and socket to establish a secure connection
+and retrieve the certificate, which is then saved in PEM format.
+Additional functionality is provided to validate the certificate using OpenSSL to ensure
+its authenticity and integrity.
