in reply to WWW::Mechanize cannot connect to HTTPS site

I vaguely remember Mozilla::CA was required to be fresh, plus (be it unusual or not) reboot after its update, in similar case.

    Such a problem with Mozilla::CA should result in "certificate verify failed" rather than just the generic "can't connect" error. Here's what I see when I force that (host redacted):

    Error GETing https://HOST/: Can't connect to HOST:443 (certificate verify failed)

    Note that this isn't on MS Windows.

    Windows loves being rebooted. It not illegal or fattening so its worth a try.
