Add support for providing certificate files for the websites

Problem

I am working in a computer working behind a proxy wall and I need to have website certificate file to send request to any website. Is there a way to pass the key like 'cert' or 'cert_file' to the function app.add(url,cert='my_certificate_for_given_website.pem'?

I can see bunch of kwargs in app.add but I am not sure how we can pass the parameter verify to module requests or whichever module is used to download the website contents.

Code

import os
from embedchain import App

# Replace this with your OpenAI key
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = my_oenai_key

app = App()
app.add("https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk") # It gives SSL error here.
app.add("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk")
app.query("What is the net worth of Elon Musk today?")

Motivation, pitch

I am working on a computer which is working behind the proxy firewall and I need to have website certificate to download the contents of any website (eg. using request.get).

Currently, I am not sure how to pass the certificate to the app function: app.add(url), without passing the certificate file, I can not use the module.

I assume that many programmers working behind the proxy and it will be beneficial to all of us.
