Yes, grab the cert.pem file that curl publishes:

http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem

Include it with your app and point the sslcerificates to it.

Also, 4.5 has experimental support for loading SSL certs installed on the
system. I haven't tested this yet but that may be a solution for you as well
if you aren't using 4.5 yet.
