Hi,

Do you have more information on how/why it failed. For example by using the
verbose output?

There are two options to toggle:
    curl_easy_setopt(hc->curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1L);
    curl_easy_setopt(hc->curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2L);

Details are available in the documentation. Setting both to zero is equal to
the "-k" option.

If you also want to remove the usage of the default included CA bundle (this
is an add-on to the previous options), then you could write a small SSL_CTX
callback function:
    curl_easy_setopt(hc->curl, CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION, *sslctx_function);

This callback function will prepare a bare SSL_CTX and by default is has no
default CA location inclusion, like the CA bundle file.
