 * Hi
    I have SSL on my site, Im trying to load an RSS file from my own site with
   pipes (reason is not relevant). However Im getting the following error: Error:[
   cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate
   chain]
 * According to a post found here –
    [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21187946/curl-error-60-ssl-certificate-pr%C3%B0blem-self-signed-certificate-in-certificate-c](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21187946/curl-error-60-ssl-certificate-pr%C3%B0blem-self-signed-certificate-in-certificate-c)
 * I can add :
    curl_setopt ($curl_ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, dirname(__FILE__).”/cacert.
   pem”); (since I cant edit the php.ini file)
 * And that will solve it. However I dont know where, in your plugin code, to put
   this. Could you provide some pointers?
    Obviously it needs to be added in the
   cUrl calls but Im not sure where they are (aside from 2 in the cronjob.php file).

 * additional note
 * In cronjob.php is :
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
 * in the post I listed above it says this is extremely bad for security reasons.
 * If it helps anymore..
    Wordpress is on a HTTPS site. The file Im trying to load
   is a php file, within wordpress, outputting as RSS, its grabbing the content 
   from another site (standard http) and editing it slightly for Pipes to use. The
   php file works fine on its own, its only pipes that has the issue.

 * To add yet more info… the pipes cron doesnt work anyway. From looking,
    [https://domain.com/?pipes=cron&task=callaio](https://domain.com/?pipes=cron&task=callaio)
 * is what calls the cron but this is redirecting to
    [https://domain.com/idp/profile/SAML2/Redirect/SSO;jsessionid=173363D3E154DAFB2BC7E4BB7EC9158F?execution=e1s1](https://domain.com/idp/profile/SAML2/Redirect/SSO;jsessionid=173363D3E154DAFB2BC7E4BB7EC9158F?execution=e1s1)
 * likely some issue here with site security. This is why, in another ticket, I 
   asked if we could run the cron ourselves from a specific url but you said thats
   not possible. So it seems for us, your cron doesnt work in any form and has to
   be updated manually.

 * Hi,
 * With my experience of using this powerful plugin, in order to avoid your issues,
   I created a special add-on for WPPipes. That add-on allows WPPipes running on
   other sites but still able to post to the main site. Even I am using WPPipes 
   with that add-on on localhost to post remote to my live site :D!
 * Hopefully you feel interested in my way :)!

 * not at all, its not relevant to my issue.
 * would like to ask WP Pipes Devs, again, to please make a full url for the cronjob,
   not the domain.com?pipes=cron&task=callaio as this simply wont work for everyone.
   Some of us need to call a specific page in our cronjobs. I dont see why this 
   cant be done, why cant we use /wp-content/plugins/wp-pipes/cronjob.php?pipes=
   cron&task=callaio ?

 * Hi,
 * Maybe the authors do not have time for updating the plugin with your idea recent
   time.
 * But I checked the code of WPPipes and I think it is possible to create a php 
   file like you asked to call cronjob.
 * Try to do it by yourself!
