Question

root@sclrdev:/home/sclr/certs/FreshCerts# curl --ftp-ssl --verbose ftp://{abc}/ -u trup:trup --cacert /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
* About to connect() to {abc         


        

Answer 1

On windows - if you want to run from cmd

> curl -X GET "https://some.place"

Download cacert.pem from https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html

Set permanently the environment variable:

CURL_CA_BUNDLE = C:\somefolder\cacert.pem

And reload the environment by reopening any cmd window in which you want to use curl; if Chocolatey is installed you can use:

refreshenv

Now try again
