Comment (by stippi):

 This is indeed annoying, it would also be a problem with correctly signed
 sites that just happen not to be in the known certificates. The SSL errors
 can be ignored globally in the cURL WebCore backend, a better solution
 should be created, though, which ignores the error for a specific site
 only, if the user so wishes. As a temporary work around, you can remove
 the certs file from /boot/common/ssl/certs (if memory serves, just look at
 the WebPositive package to see what file it installs), which disables the
 SSL checks altogether.
