Description Keith Robertson 2016-01-05 20:18:58 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1295939 +++

Description of problem:
The Python Requests package, which is used by Insights to make HTTPS connections, will read the CURL_CA_BUNDLE environment variable.  This variable can interfere with the pinned CA certs used by the Insights client to validate connections to redhat.com.

This BZ tracks the effort to ignore this variable while running.
