How to get and use certificates with curl

SUCCESS!!

I went through a free web service called dnsomatic (run by the folks at opendns)

It's as simple as signing up for an account and adding opendns to your services. No configuration beyond that.

For Android users busybox versions of wget are way behind and don't have options to use user names and passwords, so we will have to install and use cURL

The guide to install curl can be found here

Once you have curl you can simply do things like updating your opendns ip

curl -u opendnsusername:password http://updates.dnsomatic.com/nic/update?hostname=opendnshostname

You can download the cacert root certificates from here: http://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3
