SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

Dear sir or madam,
 


I’m trying to use quantmod package in R to get financial data from Yahoo. It works perfectly on my personal laptops (Mac and Win). But I cannot make it work on my working computer (Win7). Here's the error code:

Error in curl::curl_download(cu, tmp, handle = h) : 
SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
I have tried to solve the problems in the following ways:

1.      install httr package
2.      Delete curl, quantmod and reinstall
3.      Update to the latest version of R, RStudio, curl, httr, RCurl and quantmod
4.      Install openssl package
5.      Set ssl_verifypeer = 0L

Unfortunately, none of the above works. I had this problem earlier when I was trying to download a file using R. At that time, I switched to wget and made it work. But now I'm using an existing package and I have no idea how to solve this problem. BTW, fetch data from google finance works but Google only provide ~ 4000 records per request.
I think our company has some restrictions on SSL but I'm totally fine in accessing websites start with https://

I have spent a week to solve this problem but I didn't make any progress. Now, I'm wondering is that possible to fix it? Any ideas will be helpful!

Thanks to all the contributors, have a great one!

 
Best,
Arthur
