  Options controlling the HTTP API Connections

  --insecure            Explicitly allow client to perform "insecure" TLS (https) requests. The

                        Specify a CA bundle file to use in verifying a TLS (https) server
                        certificate. Defaults to env[OS_CACERT].

                        this client. Defaults to env[OS_CERT].
  --os-key <key>        The location for the keystore (PEM formatted) containing the private key
                        of this client. Defaults to env[OS_KEY].
  --timeout <seconds>   Set request timeout (in seconds).
  --collect-timing      Collect per-API call timing information.
