How to use curl to make request to secure public ip (0.0.0.0) django server without error?

Question

I get the following error when i make request to the url ( above ip:port ) . I have secured it using mkcert .

(Did following steps to add certificate , mkcert -install, mkcert -cert-file rootCA.pem -key-file rootCA-key.pem localhost 127.0.0.1(in project root))

And the following line to run server using root CA and rootCA -key file : python manage.py runserver_plus --cert-file rootCA.pem --key-file rootCA-key.pem

Now i made a curl request : "curl https://127.0.0.1:8000/ but i get the following error ,

"curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate"

I used google to search on the issue(someone said it is os not recognising the certificates) but couldn't understand anything on how to solve it .

Any help is much appreciated!

Ps: i am using termux and device is using android os.

Edit: i followed this article for http to https.

Answer 1

You made need to add the key to your OS's keystore, or you can try the -k option in curl to avoid validation.

sokayvich thks a lot !
Between i don't know how can i add the key to os keystore in android but after searching a bit i came across an answer that talked about getting server certificate (using openssl) , so i ran the required command to get the certificate and then used it in the curl request to do successful secure request .
