curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations: Error on installing RVM on windows through Cygwin

[Shiva]

I am trying to set up RVM on windows platform using cygwin. I installed all the suggested utilities like curl, wget etc but 

when i 

type curl -kLv https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby I see the following error message

Please read and follow further instructions.

Press ENTER to continue.

Downloading RVM from wayneeseguin branch stable

curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations:

  CAfile: /usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt

  CApath: none

Could not download 'https://github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/tarball/stable'.

  curl returned status '77'.

The -k option should have ignore the certificate but the error still persists. I tried changing the permissios on the certs folder using chmod 755 but still the error message perists

Please advise if any body ran into the same issue.

Regards

Shiva

sorry for the late answer, you need to either update certificates or disable certificate check:

    echo insecure >> ~/.curlrc
