1.11 Why don't you update ca-bundle.crt
- The ca-bundle.crt file that used to be bundled with curl was very outdated
- (it being last modified year 2000 should tell) and must be replaced with a
- much more modern and up-to-date version by anyone who wants to verify peers

In the cURL project we've decided not to attempt to keep this file updated

That is an OpenSSL binary built for Windows.

- "fake" sets the type to 'multipart/form-data', then and only then you must
- use the -F type. In all the most common cases, you should use -d which then

- of language that generated the page.
