title: HTTPS and SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed, CA is OK
body: <p>I am using <a href="http://www.apachefriends.org" rel="noreferrer">XAMPP</a> for development. Recently I upgraded my installation of xampp from an old version to 1.7.3. </p>
  
  <p>Now when I curl HTTPS enabled sites I get the following exception</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'RequestCore_Exception' with message
    'cURL resource: Resource
        id #55; cURL error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
        error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed (60)'</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Everyone suggest using some specific curl options from PHP code to fix this problem. I think this shouldn't be the way. Because I didn't have any problem with my old version of XAMPP and happened only after installing the new version. </p>
  
  <p>I need help to figure out what settings change in my PHP installation, Apache etc can fix this problem.</p>
