Just a heads up, the public.cyber.mil site went through some changes. Those changes are preventing the successful operation of the add-dod-certs.sh. The process of "Locating the bundle..." on lines 18-20 is no longer working as expected. I believe they have disabled the directory listing capability to prevent cross-site scripting.

As a workaround, I have hardcoded my script with the following changes:

    url='https://dl.dod.cyber.mil/wp-content/uploads/pki-pke/zip/'
    bundle="${url}unclass-certificates_pkcs7_DoD.zip"

After incorporating those changes, the remainder of v0.4.2 script works properly.

I just now noticed @victor-almanzar Ansible playbook version has the new url value. Wish I had seen that earlier.

Thank You, All. Worked Perfectly with the hardcoded parameters above.
