Hi Folks - I'm having an SSL/cert issue downloading the recommended database CAT_nr from the provided website (https://tbb.bio.uu.nl/tina/CAT_pack_prepare/) - is this a known issue?
Copy code
$ curl -C - -O <https://tbb.bio.uu.nl/tina/CAT_pack_prepare/20241212_CAT_nr.tar.gz>

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
More details here: <https://curl.se/docs/sslcerts.html>

curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and

Yes, I've seen thise issue. It seems like a missconfiguration from their side, so there's no other option than using skipping SSL check (
--insecture
in curl)

Ah, indeed. Didn't realize that was an option, should have guessed facepalm
Thanks!
