I discovered that the problem lies in the schannel feature of the curl binary. More specifically, the problem is not in the curl itself, but in the feature "Safe Web" from Norton Antivirus in my PC that, in some way, blocks any attempt of curl to access sites with a public key validated by "Let's Encrypt". Turning off the Safe Web makes everything work properly.

I am no expert, but an AI I used suggested that replacing the curl executable by one without the schannel feature would solve the problem, but I was unable to do this.

Based on this, I believe this issue can be considered solved.

Sincerely
