Exception CURL error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK

When using curl and sending an HTTPS request you could run into an error.

If you are getting "Exception CURL error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK" or similar, that indicates problem with the remote SSL certificate.

To fix this you can add:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

to the curl request.

On the long run it is better to point to the certificate that curl should trust.
