 * Getting the following errors after reinstalling the plugin.
 * > Unable to get domain via CloudFlare API – cURL returned an SSL related error
   > when contacting the CloudFlare API using HTTPS. It is possible that your server’s
   > CA cert bundle is out of date. You should contact your server administrator

 * I’m using the free service, CDN only. Not sure why it’s telling me I need a CA
   Cert.

   it says the free version it’s not going to work well with SSL. You’d need to 
   upgrade it.

 * No, I’m not talking about Cloudflare. I’m talking about the plugin, which for
   some time was suddenly forcing ssl when there was no need. Nothing on our website
   needed ssl or requested ssl. It was a glitch in the plugin.
 * An update to the plugin seems to have fixed the problem.

 * I’m still getting this problem intermittently. Could we at least get some acknowledgment
   or an explanation of what this is, exactly?

 * Similar issue to:
 * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/curl-returned-an-ssl-related-error](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/curl-returned-an-ssl-related-error)
 * Basically it means your server doesn’t have the up to date Certificate Authority
   bundles installed, so that when the plugin tries to talk to cloudflare.com it
   can’t correctly verify the cloudflare.com certificate. This stops the development
   mode toggle feature from working, but nothing else.
