[ERROR]    Unexpected HTTP error: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate (while requesting https://phar.io/data/repositories.xml) (Code: 60)

This is not a bug in phive.

The curl library in your windows and/or php environment is lagging a way to verify TLS certificates.
One potential way to fix this is by downloading the cacert.pem provided by CURL and setting its path in the php.ini by having it contain curl.cainfo="/path/to/downloaded/cacert.pem".

We might actually handle this situation more gracefully.

Added additional information for this type of situation to the exception with commit 74a2f55

Hmm... I just ran into the exact same thing (with Phive 0.15.0) and the additional information added in 74a2f55 was not displayed. Should I open a new issue for this ?

[theseer]

Are you sure you get the same error code?

@theseer Looks like it:

[theseer]

Interesting. That'd qualify as a bug then indeed. Not sure yet why (let alone how) that could happen but that's of course to be determined.

So yes, please open a dedicated issue.
