  3.1 curl: (1) SSL is disabled, https: not supported

  If you get this output when trying to get anything from a https:// server,
  it means that the configure script couldn't find all libs and include files
  it requires for SSL to work. If the configure script fails to find them,
  curl is simply built without SSL support.
  it means that the instance of curl/libcurl that you're using was built
  without support for this protocol.

  This could've happened if the configure script that was run at build time
  couldn't find all libs and include files curl requires for SSL to work. If
  the configure script fails to find them, curl is simply built without SSL
  support.

  To get the https:// support into a curl that was previously built but that

  3.21 Protocol xxx not supported or disabled in libcurl

  When passing on a URL to curl to use, it may respond that the particular
  protocol is not supported or disabled. The particular way this error message
  is phrased is because curl doesn't make a distinction internally of whether
  a particular protocol is not supported (ie never got any code added that
  knows how to speak that protocol) or if it was explicitly disabled. curl can
  be built to only support a given set of protocols, and the rest would then
  be disabled or not supported.

  Note that this error will also occur if you pass a wrongly spelled protocol
  part as in "htpt://example.com" or as in the less evident case if you prefix
  the protocol part with a space as in " http://example.com/".
