On one of my debian box, I kept on getting the following error and can't go further when I do knife solo prepare:

Ideally, it's best to add the option to add options to knife solo but this should at least get people go pass the first part as it's very annoying not being able to bootstrap (prepare) a chef install on the target box.

Hi Ed,

Sorry, but that destroys the whole idea of the SSL layer...

But I have good news for you. =)
The problem is that some minimal Debian installations do not include "ca-certificates" package. The issue has been fixed in #213 and is available in the latest two pre-release gems too. A new normal release is planned but will take some time still.

Nod, I think it might also have been opscode problem. I was checking today and wget works w/o the option now. I guess I was lucky last night when the opscode certificate was "broken." :)
