The httpclient is configured with @system-ca by default, which uses the directory returned by X509_get_default_cert_dir(). On debian/ubuntu systems, this directory contains multiple certificate files that are loaded successfully. However it seems that on other systems the files in this directory is the direct result of ca-certificates instead of its source. Meaning that you would only have a bundle file with every certificates in it. The loading was not done correctly in case of directory loading, and was only loading the first certificate of each file. This patch fixes the issue by using X509_STORE_load_locations() on each file from the scandir instead of trying to load it manually with BIO. Not that we can't use X509_STORE_load_locations with the `dir` argument, which would be simpler, because it uses X509_LOOKUP_hash_dir() which requires a directory in hash form. That wouldn't be suited for this use case. Must be backported in every stable branches. Fix issue #3137.
