Dirk, ive changed the subject given the nature of the present debugging. Im aware i can extend extras from download.file to install.packages however im curious to know why libcurl in the R invocation does not honor the CA bundle on my system.
how would I pass a CA bundle to install.packages? the function has numerous arguments before the extras are taken.

See 'help(download.file)' -- it's a little hidden but you can just make the external curl (which, as you say, works in your particular circumstances) the default for remote file access from R too. Next time please try to be a little more specific with your questions and their subject line. Methinks nothing here has anything to do with the httpd server you employ.
