Why do this in libcurl when you can with less effort do that logic in your

Calling pycurl an application is a bit of a stretch, but I suppose from
libcurl's perspective, everything is an application. :)
Yeah. I suppose I should have said "in your code using libcurl".
Initially, I wasn't thinking it would be possible to do runtime CA bundle
auto-detection in a way that's transparent to end users of pycurl, but after
looking at how libcurl handles CURL_CA_BUNDLE (it seems to ultimately do
what setting CURLOPT_CAINFO does), I think it should be fine for pycurl to
set CURLOPT_CAINFO before handing over the handle to the end user.
What code in libcurl does this in runtime? I can't find any such code. I think
you might look at code in the curl tool, which incidentally is an application
using libcurl... :-)
