Please try to set "ssprot=http" in the pca-proxy.conf file, to make pca 
use HTTP instead of HTTPS; so you'll see whether it's a problem with 
HTTPS connections.

No, that's fine. If you look at the debug output, you'll see that pca 
uses --ca-certificate to point at itself - it includes the necessary CA 
certificate for the sunsolve web server.

Try the wget command you see in pca's debug output (from "/usr/bin/wget" 
to "-O /var/tmp/pca/patchdiag.xref"), include --debug and see what 
wget's debug out is.

Martin.
