[CKAN-support] [IATI Support] Re: BMGF Hosted Files [H1JX-MQH5]

Hello,

This looks like it's a problem on the docs.gatesfoundation.org site. If you
look at the SSL report below, you'll see that the site doesn't send the
intermediary certificate. This is fine for browsers, but I suspect python
and curl require it.
