6 When
<var>cacert.pem
</var> exists, this option has the same effect
7 as
<code>-C
</code> or
<code>--ca-cert
</code>. If it does not exist,
8 then the executable will attempt to obtain the CA certificate from the
9 SSL peer on its first SSL connection and save it to the named PEM
10 file. If it is successful, it will immediately drop the connection
11 and reconnect, and from then on all SSL connections must be
12 authenticated by a certificate signed by the CA certificate thus
16 This option exposes the SSL connection to a man-in-the-middle
17 attack obtaining the initial CA certificate, but it may be useful
21 This option is only useful if the SSL peer sends its CA certificate as
22 part of the SSL certificate chain. The SSL protocol does not require
23 the server to send the CA certificate.
26 This option is mutually exclusive with
<code>-C
</code> and
27 <code>--ca-cert
</code>.
