Re: Rules updates broken?

["Joel Esler (jesler)" <jesler () cisco com>]

We have moved to Cloudflare to balance the traffic we are receiving on the site.  We had a particular user that shared 
an oinkcode somewhere, and as a result we were dealing with over 35 Millon downloads a day, so we had to upgrade a bit.

We have heard that older versions (or perhaps older cert trusts) of curl and wget are having a problem navigating 
through Cloudflare over to the site.   It’s difficult for us to pin down as our tests work, and download numbers are 
staying constant, however, we have had a few people (like yourselves) say you can’t reach the site.

I suggest the above.  (versions of curl/wget/cert trusts) and let me know your results.
