That worked just fine until v.7.33.0

Are you really using NSS?

The different between v7.33.0 and previous versions was this:

That's code handling the OpenSSL backend, and yes the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER and CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST options were fixed to both have an affect as documented. They're actually somewhat independent of each other but both should be enabled for proper security (and they are both enabled by default).
