# Update 26-03-2015. If using this command gives no output, see if running a simple fetch causes this error:
|
||||||
|
# $ curl https://www.mankier.com
|
||||||
|
# curl: (35) Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s).
|
||||||
|
# If so, try specifying a cipher in the curl commands: curl --ciphers ecdhe_ecdsa_aes_128_sha
