This seems to be an issue which has come up a few times over the years with the curl library.
It appears to be specific to when curl is compiled on OS X to use the Mac SSL library, rather than OpenSSL. I am guessing you are trying this on a Mac? I have tested a build of tsNet under OS X that uses OpenSSL instead, and the issue goes away. Unfortunately, building tsNet to use OpenSSL on Mac would mean that it no longer uses the OS X certificate store for verifying SSL certificates.
