Where do I install certificates so that wget and other MacPorts programs will find them?

Question

I have to install custom certificates so that they work with wget installed via MacPorts. I can't find the right directory.

I've tried installing in /System/Library/OpenSSL/certs but that directory seems to be ingored by wget. Likewise certificates installed in my keychain are ignored.

Answer 1

Create a wgetrc file containing:

ca_directory=/System/Library/OpenSSL/certs

On Linux and BSD, the file is located at ~/.wgetrc (and /etc/wgetrc system-wide). I don't know if it is the same for MacPorts.
