reading SSL page with CURL (php)

Question

I am trying to download the content of a secure (uses https) webpage using php and curl libraries.

However, reading failed and I get error 60: \"SSL certificate prob

Answer 1

If you want to use SSL peer verification (turning it off is not always good idea) you may use next solution on Windows globally for all applications:

1. Download file with root certificates from here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html
2. Add to php.ini:

curl.cainfo=C:/path/to/cacert.pem

that's all magic, CURL can now verify certificates.

(as I know there is no such problem on Linux, at least on Ubuntu)
