The gethttp addon only bundles win32 curl binary so that I think using native curl on linux and osx is assumed. I have very little real experience in using curl, since I normally use wget. You suggested replacing the curl.exe in gethttp addon with one that with ssl, and I found there are many windows binary provided on the webpage. My question was which _windows_ binary should be a candidate to be bundled with gethttp addon and more importantly should we trust the cert file contained in those packages.
