Description

Hi,

minikube start should support insecure download of kubectl & co because of an horrible corporate LAN infrastructure. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the download functions in the minikube codebase (likely in pkg/minikube/download or similar). Add a flag to allow insecure HTTPS connections (e.g., using ` insecure` or environment variable). Modify the HTTP client to skip certificate verification when the flag is set. Test the change locally with a proxy or self signed certificate.
