Example:
- '--capath /local/directory $URL'
--capath
Use the specified certificate directory to verify the peer. Multiple paths can
be provided by separated with colon (:) (e.g. path1:path2:path3). The
certificates must be in PEM format, and if curl is built against OpenSSL, the
directory must have been processed using the c_rehash utility supplied with
OpenSSL. Using --capath can allow OpenSSL-powered curl to make SSL-connections
much more efficiently than using --cacert if the --cacert file contains many
CA certificates.
If this option is set, the default capath value is ignored.
