Unable to precompile HTTP on a Linux computing cluster due to cert.pem not being found.

[astrobc1]

I am unable to precompile HTTP on a Linux computing cluster due to cert.pem not being found. I can confirm HTTP works fine on a macOS. I'm also looking into this from the cluster's end.

• Julia 1.7.2
• HTTP.jl 0.9.17
• MbedTLS.jl 1.1.1

Looks like a broken Julia install then -- both the cert from MozillaCACerts_jll and the fallback (JuliaLang/MbedTLS.jl#246) fails in your case.

Thanks! I'll close the issue for now and follow-up with the cluster.
