And what is the exact error or failure? curl works just fine with https, you can verify that your installation works with a site that has a known-good cert, such as: $ curl -o /dev/null https://login.yahoo.com/ If you want to use https with a command line tool you need to determine who signed the site's certificate and if that CA's cert is included in the stock CA-bundle which for curl is /usr/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt. If it's not in the bundle you need to specify it with --cacert or --capath. Read the man page and don't be confused by --cert which is something very different and unrelated unless you yourself have a peer cert and the website expects it (and if you don't know, you don't.) If you can't do any of this, or the site is using self-signed/snake oil, then you can use -k which means don't verify the site's certificate. The connection is still encrypted and cannot be snooped by third parties, but there's no assurance that the party you are talking to is who them claim to be.
