Description

Sometimes, snort signatures download fails with the following error:

A 500 error occurred, please verify that you have recently updated your root certificates!

The error seems to be linked to the download location.

Workaround: fix the mirror to download from creating an host named snort.org with ip 104.16.62.75.

A fix suggested in the snort mailing list is to use the -w option of pulledpork to ignore certificate problems.

I'd follow the suggestion to ignore certificate problems using the -w option.

The -w option doesn't fix the problem for me.
The option is documented as follows:

-w Skip the SSL verification (if there are issues pulling down rule files)

This is an upstream problem.
Reopen it if we can find a workable fix.
