I was suggesting to use --libcurl to see how to replicate the conditions in
your successful curl call to do the same from an application. When you
say libcurl do you really mean curl? It sounds like you're referring to
the curl application by the name of the library, which is confusing if true.
Are you writing your own application or using the 'curl' one?

It's all documented in the man page. curl doesn't use many environment
variables, and I don't recall any used for client certificates. There
are a few used to set CA certificate locations. If you're running curl
from initrd, then the biggest thing you're probably missing is the CA
certificate bundle (normally found in /etc/ssl/certs/ or a similar
location) which is needed to validate the remote server certificate.
