curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired<br>
More details here: <a href="https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html</a><br>
<br>
curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"<br>
of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default<br>
bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file<br>
using the --cacert option.<br>
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in<br>
the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a<br>
problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might<br>
not match the domain name in the URL).<br>
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use<br>
the -k (or --insecure) option.<br>
