[Nix-dev] Curl certs

[Malcolm Matalka]

I'm trying to create a package that, as part of its make, downloads some
stuff through curl.  Most work but one in particular is failing due to
certificates (see below).  This works if I do it on the command line.  I
tried adding 'cacert' to my buildInputs and parameters, but that didn't
seem to work.  What is the correct solution?  Still quite new to Nix so
apologies if this is a common question, I didn't find anything in my
google searches.

Thanks,
/M

  0curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: self signed 
certificate in certificate chain
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
 of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
 bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
 using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
 the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
 problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
 not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
 the -k (or --insecure) option.
