Hi!

I am trying to build curl on OpenIndiana. The configure string I pass is the following:
CC=/usr/gcc/4.3/bin/gcc ./configure --with-ca-path=/etc/certs/CA --prefix=/home/oi/curl7320
Installation finishes successfully but then if try to fetch an SSL-enabled website I get the following:

oi@openindiana:~$ ~/curl7320/bin/curl -L https://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.

I investigated the issue further and did the following:

oi_at_openindiana:~$ cat /etc/certs/CA/*.pem > bundle.pem
oi@openindiana:~$ ~/curl7320/bin/curl --cacert oi.pem -L https://google.com

And this time it worked.
So did I misunderstand the --with-ca-path option? I thought it should be the directory where all the CA certificates reside and curl can use it I don't have a CA bundle. But in my case curl refuses to get the CA certificates from that directory, though it works fine if I create a bundle of those same CA certificates.
