I belive you can get one when you build a new cert for your HTTPS server.
With Apache, I could do something like " make certificate TYPE=custom" in the

For simple trying out, you can ignore CA certs. Use -k for that.

There is a CA cert collection included in the curl package. They should be
fine for most sites that use "properly" signed certificates.

Have you tried reading the docs and checking out the examples? If so, what
info are you missing?
