EDIT: Now with proper SSL support, and a CA bundle ^^.
You'll probably have to point --cacert to the bundled ca-bundle.crt (or do the same via the CURL_CA_BUNDLE env var)

.
EDITē: This standalone binary probably won't be updated anymore, as I've since made cURL an integral part of
KoboStuff, where it *is* kept up to date
