Seems fine to me. I don't really understand why you would want to allow detection without requiring a manual override first anyway? If the server has an invalid certificate, it's reasonable to expect the user to manual override to connect to it *at all* even for discovery.

Is there even any real use case for this other than personal servers with self-signed certificates???
