OK - Sorry it's taken a while to get back to this - but I had the
discussion over on the mod-sec list, had to set up a strace and send the
strace log.
This is what Brian Rectanus had to say having analysed the strace log:
====================8<=================================================
Looking at the strace logs, it first tries to open those files
read/write, but cannot, so it resorts to read only access. I do not
see any calls to write to those files, though:
14612 open("/etc/pki/nssdb/key4.db", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE, 0644)
= -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
14612 open("/etc/pki/nssdb/key4.db", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 11
14612 open("/etc/pki/nssdb/cert9.db", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE,
0644) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
14612 open("/etc/pki/nssdb/cert9.db", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 8
I imagine that those attempts at opening read/write are what is
triggering selinux. This is the curl library access these files for
certificate verification (via mozilla's NSS library). They are sqlite
DBs. I am not sure why it is trying to access them read/write,
though. It looks like NSS support was added to curl with version
7.19.7. If it is a problem (and it may be), then you will probably
have to take it up with curl folks. However, they will probably tell
you it is a libnss issue :)
Sorry I cannot help more.

Well - Where does that leave me?
