How do I run “aws” securely on Windows?

(Thanks, fisher82vendor!)

Here is how to use it on Windows in secure mode:
* Open Firefox and go to this URL: https://s3.amazonaws.com/connection/test
* Click on the Firefox icon to view the SSL certificate in use.
* Click on the view certificate button
* Click on details
* Click on Export
* Choose X.509 certificate with chain (PEM)
* Save as: curl-ca-bundle.crt
* Place this file in one of these locations (If you’re using the curl command line tool on Windows, curl will search for a CA cert file named “curl-ca-bundle.crt” in these directories and in this order):
*# application’s directory
*# current working directory
*# Windows System directory (e.g. C:\windows\system32)
*# Windows Directory (e.g. C:\windows)
*# all directories along PATH
I just have all three files in the same directory (aws.pl, curl.exe, & curl-ca-bundle.crt).
