I'm a bit confused. You seem to be describing two problems. One problem is that your own code fails with SSL certificate errors. The other problem seems to be that you cannot upgrade some other module, because some module in the chain fails its test suite with SSL certificate errors.

Which is it, and which module versions do you have? If it is your own code, please show the module versions and the relevant code.

I see that you add a proxy to connect through in your code in run_api_call, but you don't add such a proxy to your curl command line. Maybe that is the problem?

Maybe you need to update the (public) certificates using Mozilla::CA? If you are using private certificates, are you certain that the filenames are correct?
