title: Does cURL to https URLs require SSL certificate installed on the server?
body: <p>I am trying to test a <code>cURL</code> command from my server. The command is requesting a <code>JSON</code> response from a URL that is <code>https</code>. </p>
  
  <p>The <code>cURL</code> seems to be stuck, with no response and it doesn't time out. </p>
  
  <p>However, I have tested it from my local machine and the <code>cURL</code> command works fine. </p>
  
  <p>Do I need an SSL certificate installed on the server for it be able to send <code>cURL</code> commands to an <code>https</code> URL? </p>
