wget and curl behind corporate proxy throws certificate is not trusted or certificate doesn't have a known issuer

If you try to run wget or curl in Ununtu/Debian behind corporate proxy, you might receive errors like: ERROR: The certificate of 'apertium.projectjj.com' is not trusted. ERROR: The certificate of 'apertium.projectjj.com' doesn't have a known issuer. wget https://apertium.projectjj.com/apt/apertium-packaging.public.gpg ERROR: cannot verify apertium.projectjj.com's certificate, issued by 'emailAddress=proxyteam@corporate.proxy.com,CN=diassl.corporate.proxy.com,OU=Division UK,O=Group name,L=Company,ST=GB,C=UK': Unable to locally verify the issuer's authority. To connect to apertium.projectjj.com insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'. To solution is to install your company's CA certificate in Ubuntu. In Windows, open the first part of URL in your web browser. e.g. open https://apertium.projectjj.com in web browser. If you inspect the certifcate, you will see the same CN (diassl.corporate.proxy.com), as reported by the error above
