[Bioc-devel] Possible https://code.bioconductor.org SSL certificate issue

[Spencer Nystrom]

My strong suspicion is this is because curl does not support AIA via
openSSL on Linux. But browsers will use AIA (hence the reports of Firefox,
etc working).

Here's an old GitHub issue referencing the problem though it's not the most
recent writing on the topic.

https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/2793

If this is the case, the root cause is that somewhere in the cert chain is
incomplete, which AIA can rescue. You could inspect the cert chain will
openSSL. I'm away from a terminal or I'd give it a peek.

Hope this helps,
  - Spencer
