How Do I Get MultiMC To Work With Downloading Metadata To Start Minecraft?

[RedPhoenix]

So I typed pkg install multimc, just to see if it was available, and wow, it WAS!! So I fire up MultiMC, and everything works, until it tries to download the Metafile for the Minecraft Version releases. From what I've researched Online, it seems to be either something to do with Qt5, or with OpenSSL. Any ideas, guys? Here's the error log, as retrieved from the Log:

List update failed:

Job 'Download of meta file net.minecraft/index.json' failed to process:

https://v1.meta.multimc.org/net.minecraft/index.json

What gives? I'm THIS close to using FreeBSD for Minecraft... THIS close..... Thanks for any suggestions, guys.

Do you have security/ca_root_nss installed. In case no, just install it, and try again.
pkg install ca_root_nss

Thanks obsigna! Will do, and will report back here.

Yeah, it's installed. Rats, I thought that would work...

It looks like the URL is wrong, v1.meta.multimc.org can't be resolved. So the JSON file never gets fetched.

Well, that's something I might have thought of, but the drill Command is neat! Maybe I should try and Compile MultiMC from Source then.

but the drill Command is neat!

It is, yes. Very useful. It's modeled after the dig(8) tool that is part of the BIND suite. When BIND was removed from the base we lost tools like dig(1) and nslookup(1) too. You can still install them with dns/bind-tools but they're not included in the base any more.

Yeah, I never heard about any of those before, perhaps.
