Description

Usage
1
handle_ssl(expr)
Arguments
expr
An expression. Internally, this is the request in hsapi_request.
Details
Generally, when an SSL Certificate issue is returned from
HyroShare's API, it is a result of the intermediate CA certificate
not being passed to the requester. Note that, we only retrieve the
intermediate CA certificate because the root certificate is still
being passed to the requester by the server. This can be verified here:

To prevent this error, this function will catch the SSL error from
a test GET request and download, store, and set the CURLOPT_CAINFO cURL option.
The certificate that this function retrieves is:
1
2

GeoTrust TLS DV RSA Mixed SHA256 2020 CA-1
