hmm, anyone knows what is going on here with my 2021 I/O Exception: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

This can happen when your JVM cacerts file is out of date, this file lists the trusted Certificate Authorities certificates, which change slightly from year to year. If you are on ACF, make sure you have updated your JVM, if you are on lucee still a good idea to update the jvm, but also make sure you are not using a super old version of lucee (because it bundles its own cacerts file)
