To use cURL to access the REST API for Content Management:

1. Install cURL, as described in Quick Start.

2. When running cURL from a Windows command shell only, set the cURL environment variable, CURL_CA_BUNDLE, to the location of an SSL certificate authority (CA) certificate file or bundle to authenticate against the Verisign CA certificate. Alternatively, you can specify the location of your local CA certificate bundle on the command line, using the --cacert command-line option.

   You can download an SSL CA certificate bundle from http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html or provide your own. For information about CA certificate verification using cURL, see http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html.

3. Invoke cURL and specify one or more of the command-line options defined in the following table, as required, to direct its execution.
