The FAQ is not sufficient. For one thing, it doesn't say how many certs are
bundled with curl and it only gives you two options for fixing the problem:
1) be insecure -- OBVIOUSLY NOT A VIABLE OPTION or 2) manually point curl to
a CA cert during runtime. It says nothing about how to get curl to
automatically recognize more CA certs out-of-box or why it doesn't behave
like IE or Mozilla would on certain sites. What actually needs to happen
is: 1) The FAQ needs to be improved, and 2) curl needs to be bundled with
all the CA certs that a normal browser has.
