[pca] back and annoyed

Hi, I'm back from vacation, catching up on my e-mail. I see that in (good) old tradition once again a change to SunSolve broke pca. One thing is that support for HTTP seems to have been cancelled without previous announcement. Plus, right now, I can't even download patchdiag.xref. Any reques

HI Martin, Here's some internal analysis of the certificate issues (it's pretty much what you have below)... Thought it was worth passing on all the same. Best, -Don I was able to get the --ca-certificate switch to work using a file I created called cacerts.pem and then subsequently adding
