I ran into this issue and it had to do with an underlying Perl module requiring certificates to be verified (i.e., not self-signed) when using SSL. Perhaps it was LWP::UserAgent but I cannot remember for sure. I chose to fix it by purchasing and installing an inexpensive but valid cert. That made the problem go away.
