cURL doesn't provide a CA bundle any more [1], it's the job of your OS to provid...

Though, to be fair:

    $ pacman -Qi ca-certificates | grep 'Required By'
    Required By    : ca-certificates-java  curl  glib-networking  neon  qca  qt4

Note that curl is on that list but wget isn't.

Pacman lists ca-certificates as an optional requirement of wget: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/wget/

But the point halfasleep is making is important: Don't assume either wget or curl will validate your SSL connection because it may not have been set up by your OS/distribution.

I wasn't that wrong then. ;)

They do still provide a bundle[1] though, for cases where you need it (eg homebrew's curl-ca-bundle package).
