Hi,

with the verbose options I can typically figure out what is going on with
(lib)curl failing.

According to RFC 5280[1] section "4.1.2.6. Subject" the subject is required
to be set if we're working with a CA. This might be the probable cause of
the failure. For normal certificates you can either use Subject or
SubjectAltNames or both.

I think you are using a CA certificate as a host certificate and libcurl
expects either the subjectaltname or subject name to be set.

Depending upon your choices you can:
- Create a new certificate, and make sure there is a subject
- (unsure solution) Add a subjectaltname to your (CA) certificate
- (unsure solution) Disable host name verification in (lib)curl
