Validation failing in Laravel - Fix

[Maltex]

Was still getting a persistent failure for the validation on my local WAMP stack. It's an issue with WAMP's PHP (maybe the most recent version) not including a un-to-date CD certificates.

Download the cacert.pem file from http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html.

Update PHP ini:
curl.cainfo = "C:\path\to\cacert.pem"

Worked perfectly for me.

Although I wouldn't advise people to do so, for testing purposes perhaps include a bool to switch SSL checking on/off.

Cheers for the project! Very helpful.

Use file_get_contents() instead of curl. c884fda
