Daniel, how does cURL check correctness of the certificate hostname suffix?

It insists on at least two dots. So yes, "*.apple" will cause problems for us too.

I view the public suffix list as one of the worst kludges in networking history and while I understand why it is necessary, it is next to impossible to actually use sensibly in lots of environments.
