For some reason my version of darwin/bash/evn variables is not letting me co anything from the command line with https, I dunno why, but I have tried everything.
But I have found that cURL (the mean reason this is a problem for) can take a -k option or --insecure. This isn't great but its a hack that will work for now.
Could I just user alias curl='curl -k' ? I have never aliased something to overwrite a command that actually exists, will that even work?
