@yjunechoe I believe @gaborcsardi ran into something similar last month with {remotes}: https://github.com/r-lib/remotes/issues/762#issuecomment-1594241715 and traced it back to the method from `utils::download.file()`, which uses #libcurl by default.
If you set `options(download.file.method = "wget")` (which I believe is available on #linux distros), then it avoids the #SSL certificate verification (but this is running into the edge of my knowledge of networking)
Smacked head-first into a stupid issue with the #libcurl package deployed by #MinGW / #MSYS / #MinGW64 - turns out that if you copy the DLLs out of the MinGW environment (you know, like if you want to actually *deploy* an application that uses them), libcurl suddenly starts freaking out about "SSL CA cert" problems.
Someone on StackOverflow noticed there's an alternate "mingw-w64-x86_64-curl-winssl" package that doesn't seem to suffer from this issue (which I confirmed). What a damned mess!
#libcurl #mingw #MSYS #MINGW64

@SpaceLifeForm @Perl This isn’t just shelling out to #curl or #wget (which core tools like #CPAN already fall back on). This is about in-process #TLS, which is currently best supported in #Perl by IO::Socket::SSL and its dependency Net::SSLeay, which in turn depends on either #OpenSSL or #LibreSSL with development header files.
There are modules that wrap #libcurl and other interfaces, but the more popular HTTP and other client modules don’t use them.
#curl #wget #cpan #tls #perl #openssl #libressl #libcurl
