How do I deal with certificates using cURL while trying to access an HTTPS url?

Question

I am getting the following error using curl:

curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations:
  CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
  CApath: none

How do I set this certificate verify locations? Thanks.

Answer 1

It seems your curl points to a non-existing file with CA certs or similar.

For the primary reference on CA certs with curl, see: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
