OpenID authentification failing with: Sorry, but your input is not a valid OpenId

Usually you may get Sorry, but your input is not a valid OpenId but the real cause is hidden could be this (you have to modify the OSQA code to log this).

Here is what I obtained:

(60, 'server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none')

What is strange is that the certificate from the openid server does validate my laptop and also when using lynx but when trying with links it fails with SSL error : Verification failure: unable to get local issuer certificate.

Update #1 Some progress:

exporting the certificates using Firefox
put them in /etc/ssl/certs
run update-ca-certificates -f -v

Now, curl and links will work but not OSQA.
