Fill all three blanks to write a test that disables SSL verification, sends a request, and checks the response status is 200.

Postman

pm.settings.set('[1]', false);
pm.sendRequest('https://example.com', (err, res) => {
  pm.test('Response status is [2]', () => {
    pm.expect(res.code).to.eql([3]);
  });
