I assume you use -k then?
(FR): actually, it works fine without any switches:
curl https://secure.example.com and curl -k https://secure.example.com get
exactly the same result

The command line tool's -k option sets these options:

  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 1);

(FR) tried that:
$ch = curl_init();
echo "Connecting to <code>" . $conStr . "</code>";
echo "<pre>" . curl_version() . "</pre>";
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $conStr);
//curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURL_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURL_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 1);
curl_exec ($ch);
echo curl_error($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

I am getting
Connecting to https://secure.example.com
libcurl/7.10.5 OpenSSL/0.9.7b
SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK

I tried that with 3 different https sites - no difference!
