Adding a self-signed cert to the trusted certs within cURL in Windows?

I have created a self-signed cert from the instructions on this page, have installed it and it appears to all be working correctly, but now I need cURL to trust it.

Since the later versions of cURL don't include a trusted list within a .pem file, I downloaded the .pem file here and then input this line in php.ini:

curl.cainfo = "C:\xampp\php\cacert.pem"

Now all I need to know is how do I get cURL to trust my self-signed cert? I don't need any browsers to trust it, just cURL.

Solution 1:

Seems all I had to do was open up the cacert.pem file and add the contents of the server.crt file to it.

For those reading, server.crt was the file that got created when I created the self-signed cert and which I copied over to: C:\xampp\apache\conf\ssl.crt\server.crt
