Curl and HTTPS ?

[ekianjo]

I am wondering if anyone has a quick fix for that. When using CURL in terminal with an https address it refuses the connection because CA certificates are apparently missing. Any way to install the said certificates ?

Not sure how to install the certificates but there's this option:

-k/--insecure Allow connections to SSL sites without certs

Not sure if using it always is a good idea (I guess there's a reason why it's called insecure)

Make sure the OS is updated as this package was recently added to the repository.

Then: 

sudo opkg install ca-certificates

Does not work on the 1.6 firmware, is there any other workaround ? Curl can call its own ca certificates with -cacert, but I could not figure if it is expecting any kind of specific format?

Installing the ca certs didn't work? or CURL with the ca certs package didn't work? Because I can install it at least.

As I said the install ca-certificates does not work on 1.60 firmware.

Why are sticking with 1.60 instead of upgrading to 1.61?

That's not the point of my question. I had no incentive to move to 1.61 when it was out anyway.

Well now you do: certificates work with 1.61 but not 1.60. Unless you have a specific reason to avoid upgrading I don't know why you're avoiding it.

sudo opkg update

sudo opkg install ca-certificates

As long as you don't run "opkg upgrade" it should leave your firmware intact.

Does this mean that I don't have to perform step 15 here and citrix will just work?

I'm having problems with this too, which is a pain for git, wget, curl etc. Installing ca-certificates doesn't really seem to make any difference. Currently using firmware 1.70 RC

The firmware wget does not have https support, firmware curl works fine after installing ca-certificates.
