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

  1. downloaded certificates mozilla suggested in https://stackoverflow.com/a/13105921/562459
  2. 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.
