Here are my results to the above SSL Certificate Check 
in a working environment.  I hope this helps someone.

#=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

EXAMPLE #1: A successful test connection with curl looks like:

NOTE: replace "VALID.SPACEWALK.FQDN" below with your own FQDN to 
your Spacewalk server.

$ curl --cacert /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT 
https://VALID.SPACEWALK.FQDN/
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>302 Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Found</h1>
<p>The document has moved <a 
href="https://VALID.SPACEWALK.FQDN/rhn/Login.do">here</a>.</p>
<hr>
<address>Apache Server at VALID.SPACEWALK.FQDN Port 443</address>
</body></html>

EXAMPLE #2: Testing using a Spacewalk Proxy:

If your client is using a Spacewalk Proxy, the output will
look like:

NOTE: Replace "SPACEWALK.PROXY.FQDN" with your own FQDN
to your Spacewalk PROXY server.

$ curl --cacert /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT 
https://SPACEWALK.PROXY.FQDN/
