:-) haha. Neither am I (and I didn't figure out immediately that, that's the requirement to go forward, so definitely not the person.) But given that curl [1] has adopted the approach the user will know where the CA cert will be and let's the user specify the details, I wondered if the just having the provision to give ca_cert details is a good thing. Yeah, I recollect a discussion that there is not a standard file-system path where OS store the certs and relying on them is not a good idea.
