How do I "add https support" to cygwin? -
about attend course , requirement laptop linux
or cygwin
another
cygwin requires https support installed
this because need use curl
fetch https
pages
so installed , updated cygwin
latest, cannot find anywhere how "install https support"
update
- downloaded certificates mozilla suggested in https://stackoverflow.com/a/13105921/562459
- exported proxy settings - needs go in .bashrc or similar
export http_proxy=http://nameofyourproxy:xxxx/ export https_proxy=http://nameofyourproxy:xxxx/
where xxxx proxy port number
you need both http , https if not
curl: (6) couldn't resolve host 'www.google.com'
when
curl -l https://www.google.com
update 2
i needed export https of course , needed put certs in right place.
cafile: /usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
so renamed download ca-bundle.crt , copied
<install path>cygwin\usr\ssl\certs
and it.
it depends. need ask clarification.
if you're expected run apache on laptop, need certificate. search online "configure apache https". here's 1 search result.
but if, example, you're expected use curl fetch pages using https, think need install public keys. don't think need recent version of curl, linked answer implies, wrong.
