To ignore invalid and self-signed certificate checks on Curl, use the -k or --insecure command-line option. This option allows Curl to perform "insecure" SSL connections and skip SSL certificate checks while you still have SSL-encrypted communications. If you make an HTTPS request to a resource with an invalid or expired SSL certificate without the -k or --insecure option, you will receive a curl: (60) SSL certificate: invalid certificate chain: error message. Click Run to execute the Curl Ignore Certificate request online and see the result.
How do I make HTTPS requests with Curl?
To send an HTTPS request using Curl, pass the destination endpoint that supports SSL connections on the Curl command line. Curl will automatically establish an SSL connection with the server. When Curl sends a request to an HTTPS URL, it checks the SSL certificate against the certificate store of the local CA. Curl returns the error message Certificate Verify Failed for expired and self-signed certificates. You can bypass certificate checking by passing -k or --insecure to Curl. Click Run to execute the Curl HTTPS request online and see the results.
How do I use Curl with SSL connections?
Curl has built-in support for Secure Transport connections (its more secure version is called TLS). When you make a Curl request for an HTTPS URL, Curl automatically checks the target URL's SSL certificate against the local CA certificate store and warns if it is invalid, self-signed, or has expired. This is great for production websites but inconvenient for development. To bypass SSL certificate checks, you can use the -k or --insecure Curl command-line options.

What is HTTP/2?
HTTP / 2 is the new version of the HTTP protocol designed to improve the web experience by making pages load faster and faster round-trip time (RTT), especially on resource-intensive web pages.
Mutual Authentication
Mutual Authentication is a solution to a variety of attacks on the net. It minimizes the risk of fraud for online business by validating the legitimacy of both sides and purposes. Mutual authentication is performed before the actual communication through the exchange of digital certificates.
