HTTPS connection using CURL command

When you need to try HTTP connection using CURL command you will return below error,

* Issuer certificate is invalid: 
* NSS error -8156
* Closing connection

Here you need to specify the cert in curl command using --cacert. before that you need to get the cert for your server. You can try below command to get cert.

openssl s_client -connect <host>:<port>

Eg: openssl s_client -connect localhost:8243

Now you can see the ssl certificate. You can extract the text between "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" and "-----END CERTIFICATE-----" including these two line and save as ssl.crt.

Now you can trigger HTTPS request according to below format

curl -X POST https://localhost:8243/xxxx/v1/test  -d '{}' --cacert /path/to/ssl.crt
