This is something that won't be implemented. You can read more about it in #76.

Thanks for the quick answer. I understand it is a windows only problem ? If this not occurs under linux, it's not a big problem as most of our users are Linux/NAS users. But my DEV environment run's under windows. Strange thing is an other package doesn't seem to have that problem. It looks being tied to Curl.

It's a Windows only problem as this ain't something that gets bundled with PHP as there are no native way of updating it under Windows. If you don't experience this with other libraries, I guess they don't validate the certificate.

I always forget to set this myself as I mainly use Windows for development on my home PC. I haven't bothered to set up a Virtualbox just for imdbphp.

Ok, thank you. Closing this enhancement for now 😄
