Failed to load RSS feed from https server. Error fetching URL: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates

Just wondering if anyone else had incurred this error before with this extension ? Does the RSS extension use cURL to get the feed ? I probably would have to get mod_ssl for my Wiki in order to connect to the SSL server but even then, the certificate may be bad. Does anyone know if I can make the extension, or if it uses cURL to somehow make it ignore the certificate in question ?

Did you try not using SSL?

Jasper - yeah, I did try running the server we wanted to get the feed from, on a non secure port (that is, an unencrypted port) but got what Shayne above is getting. Not sure what's up. Both servers sit behind a reverse proxy server and there's also an ldap server in the mix which users need to get authenticated with which involves cookies being dropped. Also some redirection is being done but noticed there is a parameter for redirection - which i used but still no good.

The message

Error parsing XML for RSS

comes from older RSS extension versions. Apart from a possible SSL problem, you need to use the version indicated on the RSS article page:

2.15 r114168 (2012-03-19 (use revision r114168 in SVN))

Warning: the version in git is currently not up to date (due to pending code reviews).

Older versions did not correctly parse all kinds of feeds. A good way to check the extension is to copy the XML feeds from the original server to a different non-SSL server and then to let the RSS extension load from there.
