Curl might be asking you to provide root certificates: basically, so it can authenticate any certificates the server sends it. This isn't necessarily useful - you may be connecting to a server which doesn't have a valid cert ;) Just try lynx -source and see where you get. Remember, you need lynx from non-US (i.e., the https enabled version ;) Cheers, Alex.
