Hi Dan,

All I did was rerun the configure/make/make install with exactly the
same options as I did at first, but this time with the
/usr/local/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt file in place and it works
perfectly now without specifying any --ca options.

I know it is probably a matter of opinion, but I would say there is a
shortcoming in this case in either the configure script or the
documentation. After battling for days with one obstacle after
another, admittedly on a steep learning, to be tripped up by something
as simple as this is a little frustrating. Hopefully we can spare a
few people from having to learn the hard way in future.

Anyway, thanx for all your help.

PS. Any idea how I can create a binary package out of my cURL build?
