Glad to hear that work around worked for you! For other that stumble here, the workaround is:

Downloading this file https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert-2017-01-18.pem by some other means, and move it to the location:

/home/linuxbrew/.cache/Homebrew/downloads/6d2f0aa30538560efe2aae756229a9ced40e636a70083696fb1bceb6c1a7564c--openssl-1.0.2p.tar.gz

then run

brew postinstall openssl

I installed homebrew in ~/.brew and I had to download the https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert-2017-01-18.pem, place in ~/.brew/etc/openssl/cert.pem (rename to cert.pem), then do brew reinstall curl for curl to work.
