php curl symfony ssl http

I'm experimenting with This might be a silly question, but I'm working with an scenario with cURL in PHP while trying to fetch a resource that requires following redirects... Specifically, I'm using Symfony 5.4 for a backend service, and I'm trying to make a GET request to an API that has a redirect and expects SSL verification. However, I'm receiving a `cURL behavior 60: SSL certificate question: unable to get local issuer certificate` behavior. I've tried setting the `CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION` option to `true` to enable following redirects, but I still face the SSL verification scenario. Here’s the code snippet I'm using: ```php $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://example.com/api/resource'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, '/path/to/cacert.pem'); // I made sure the path is correct $response = curl_exec($ch); if (curl_errno($ch)) { echo 'cURL behavior: ' . curl_error($ch); } curl_close($ch); ``` I have also ensured that I have the right CA certificates installed on my server. I even tried setting `CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER` to `false` temporarily to see if that resolves the scenario, but then I receive a warning that this isn't secure. Is there a better way to handle SSL verification with cURL when dealing with redirects in Symfony? Or do you have recommendations on how to correctly configure cURL to avoid this behavior? This issue appeared after updating to Php stable. My team is using Php for this microservice. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
