I'm not sure what you want to do, but in Java you need a special program for downloading because there are sha1 checks in it. I don't have problems with other programs which use the www for something. So the problem is not with Java but with the program you use inside Java. A common seen bug is error=2 which is as much that the program can't find the browser. Sometimes there is a workaround, but with most tested programs with this bug its just game over.

Looks like a bug and an issue should be filed at netlabs.
You could try using a cacerts from an older or different versio of Java. eg I see an almost 30k cacerts in JAVA142\lib\security. Try copying it over after saving the empty cacerts.
Doing some googling, it seems a common problem, usually fixed by pointing at the OSes certs, which we don't have. eg see http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=270.
There are places that you can download them from but I'd be really careful to get them from a trusted source,

Thanks Dave and Joop,

I also read many of those instructions on the net, but just as you state have different solutions.
I did follow your advice to borrow the file from innotek java, but it was to old as it required support libraries that I couldn't find in a haste.
I ended up with cacert from another system with a recent file and it worked (111k from Aug 31, 2016).
I'm now downloading the google android sdk to this computer at the same time as I listen to music (PM123) and write this.  ;D

I also registered a new ticket #241 on netlabs https://trac.netlabs.org/java/ticket/241 that's related to this.

Regards,
//Jan-Erik
