Using appscript how can I accept self-signed SSL cert in Safari

Question

I'm trying to automate some stuff which involves browsing to a https url. I'm using py-appscript with Safari on Mac OS X. But when Safari navigates to the https URL, since I have a self-signed certificate, it throws up a popup window which asks you to accept it to continue. I could not figure out a way to do this. Sure using signed certificates will solve the problem but I was curious if it is even possible via appscript to accept or click on the popup dialog boxes on Safari?

Well, answering my own question. Hopefully it'll be useful to someone...

from appscript import *

app(u'Safari').activate()
title = app(u'Safari').do_JavaScript(u'document.title', in_=app.documents[1])
app(u'Safari').documents[1].URL.set(u'https://localhost/')
app(u'System Events').application_processes[u'Safari'].windows[title].sheets[1].groups[2].UI_elements[u'Continue'].click()
