The question is how to trust self-signed certificates, not how to bypass certificate validation.

@l0b0: To make curl trust self-signed certificates. And it also says: "The goal is to enable HTTPS during development". curl -k achieves both. There is no validation in self-signed certificates, unless you are implying that you want to accept only a certain self-signed certificate, but this is not what the question says. Can you explain what is your objection?

I wrote "How do I make cURL trust it". If I asked you how to open SSH to a specific IP, would you tell me to open it to every IP?

I cannot see that from your post. There isn't a dump of the certificate in it. Curl probably relies on openssl to do the validations. The validations (may) include the proper flags for use (e.g. ssl server), CN name, date, chain validation, revocation check via CRL, revocation check via OCSP and probably something else that I'm forgetting. Your post doesn't mention any of these, nor it shows the certificate, and you keep updating it. I'd suggest forming a good question from scratch and taking the answers a bit more seriously instead of being rude to everyone that tries to help you.

I see that you have listed the generation of the cert. Cert validation needs to start from a CA and you don't use a CA, so you cannot possibly validate the cert. If you are looking for something like "openssl verify"'s -trusted then I don't think that exists.
