WAMP requires curl.cainfo certficate in order to work with Pusher

Question

I'm working in WAMP and Laravel on localhost. I was trying to broadcast an event using Pusher to my font end and Laravel was throwing an exception. I fixed the issue by downloading cainfo certficate from curl official website and setting curl.cainfo variable in php.ini to point to downloaded certificate. I was wondering why is this required? Is this only for WAMP or only for Pusher? Or it's because Pusher is using HTTPS?

It's required so php's curl implementation knows which certificates are trusted, just like your browser. — Devon Bessemer, Nov 23 '18 at 19:20

Is it only for the PHP you're using in your Wamp to connect with services who requires SSL.. - download it from here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html - Add it to your ssl folder in your php version, and modify your php.ini files (in Wamp folder and PHP folder): curl.cainfo = "C:\wamp\bin\php{php_version}\extras\ssl\cacert.pem"
