Google App Engine monkeypatch(validate_certificate=False) keeps attempting to validate certificates
Using monkeypatch with validate_certificate=False as shown below does not have the desired effect and certificates continue to be checked.
requests_toolbelt.adapters.appengine.monkeypatch(validate_certificate=False)
This comes from monkeypatch setting adapters.HTTPAdapter = InsecureAppEngineAdapter. When InsecureAppEngineAdapter is initialized it calls its way up to the requests library's HTTPAdapter using super. Within HTTPAdapter::__init__ there is a call to super(HTTPAdapter, self).__init__(). At this point HTTPAdapter == InsecureAppEngineAdapter so it starts the __init__ process again, but now it starts at AppEngineAdapter since we aren't telling it not to validate_certificate it defaults to True
It seems you have a clear understanding of the problem. I'd happily merge a PR that solves the issue here.
