I see. Looks like this actually stems from OpenSSL, and libcurl just acts as a rather thin wrapper over it. I wonder what the rationale was for this decision from the folks at OpenSSL, and why libcurl decided to keep the same behavior (albeit undocumented).

curl hands over the handling of those directories and files to the underlying TLS library. Thus a missing file, missing directory or illegal formatting will be handled by the TLS library and any errors or not will vary depending on the library, version and how they consider the problem to be (or not).
