Let’s Encrypt Staging. Curl without the -k

[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.21.1″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.21.1″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.21.1″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21.1″]Are you lazy and use ‘-k’ to curl all the time when using Let’s Encrypt staging? Or worse, use snake-oil? Or even worse, use just http for ‘test’?

curl -sSL https://letsencrypt.org/certs/fakelerootx1.pem > fakelerootx1.pem
curl --cacert fakelerootx1.pem https://my-site-issued-with-le-staging

There, how hard was that? Now you can test that the cert was generated properly (even though its not properly signed).[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.21.1″][/et_pb_section]
