I have opened connection on Windows (Plesk) Server with google server for some services, and trying to verify the peer using
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);
but it gave me following error.
Curl failed: error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PHPSettings\cacert.pem
CApath: none
Then I downloaded the certificate of google server using chrome, and uploaded it manually in the root document directory of my shared plesk windows server. After that I set the path of the certificate like below, and every thing works fine.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, getcwd() . "/GoogleCA.crt");
Please guide me if the above way is secure and if not that what is the nicer and secure way to do it. Any suggestions are welcome, keeping in mind that my domain is on shared server and unable to access php.ini file. thankyou in advance.
