How can disable SSL peer verification in http client (httpc) in erlang

I sent a restfull api request by http client, but i get below error:

{error,{failed_connect,[{to_address,{"https://example.com",443}},
{inet,[inet],{tls_alert,"record overflow"}}]}}

i found that SSL peer verification made this problem. how can i disable it?

my code:

test() ->
   inets:start(),
   ssl:start(),
   RequestBody = "",
   Request = {"https://example.com", [{"X-API-CODE",""}, {"Accept","application/json"}, {"access-token",""}], "application/json", RequestBody},
   {ok, {_, _, ResponseBody}} = httpc:request(post, Request, [], []),
   io:format("~st", [ResponseBody]).

Although disabling verification is not a good idea, but it's possible by using {ssl, [{verify, verify_none}]} in the options. Example: httpc:request(get, {"https://revoked.badssl.com/", []}, [{ssl, [{verify, verify_none}]}], []).
