CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY does not consider the hashes of intermediate & root
certificates when comparing the pinned keys. Therefore it is not compatible
- with "HTTP Public Key Pinning" as there also intermediate and root certificates
- can be pinned. This is very useful as it prevents webadmins from "locking
