  649. <em>/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt</em> (in ca-certificates package). This
  650. may varies depending on the distributions. You can give it to
  651. configure script using --with-ca-bundle option:</p></div>

  657. <div class="para"><p>Without --with-ca-bundle option, you will encounter the error when
  658. accessing HTTPS servers because the certificate cannot be verified
  659. without CA bundle. In such case, you can specify the CA bundle file
  660. using aria2's --ca-certificate option. If you don't have CA bundle
  661. file installed, then the last resort is disable the certificate
  662. validation using --check-certificate=false.</p></div>
