curl on Windows with SSL
I downloaded the cacert.pem file (I placed it within an editor, so it is currently in CR/LF format on WInodws, not the normal Unix format)
I type the cacert.pem file
Then I try the following command:
What is the problem with this command?
Thanks
I type the cacert.pem file

## Bundle of CA Root Certificates
##
## Certificate data from Mozilla downloaded on: Wed Aug 20 03:12:04 2014
##
## This is a bundle of X.509 certificates of public Certificate Authorities
## (CA). These were automatically extracted from Mozilla's root certificates
## file (certdata.txt). This file can be found in the mozilla source tree:
## http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/raw-file/default/security/nss/
lib/ckfw/builtins/certdata.txt
##
## It contains the certificates in PEM format and therefore
## can be directly used with curl / libcurl / php_curl, or with
## an Apache+mod_ssl webserver for SSL client authentication.
## Just configure this file as the SSLCACertificateFile.
##
## Conversion done with mk-ca-bundle.pl verison 1.22.

I tried the following:
So yes, it appears that the SSL is being negotiated, but unsucessfully
C:\curl>curl https://www.google.com
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
the -k (or --insecure) option.So yes, it appears that the SSL is being negotiated, but unsucessfully
