Browsers often have a fairly large set of trusted roots and even some
common intemediate CA certificates in their "CA bundle". While curl
uses OpenSSL directly, and a default build of OpenSSL comes with zero
trusted roots.

You need point curl at a suitable CAfile/CApath, and configure the server
with not only the leaf certificate, but also any intemediate certificates
that form part of its "trust chain".
