I am running on Ubuntu 14.04 and I have manually installed curl 7.48 (see question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36866583/libcurl-not-updated).

I've tried to execute the command:

carlo@carlo-ThinkPad-W541:/usr/bin$ curl -sS https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt
curl: (1) Protocol "https" not supported or disabled in libcurl
carlo@carlo-ThinkPad-W541:/usr/bin$

So I've done a quick check on the configuration output and it clearly said SSL not supported:

configure: Configured to build curl/libcurl:

  curl version:     7.48.0
  Host setup:       x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
  Install prefix:   /usr/local
  Compiler:         gcc
  SSL support:      no      (--with-{ssl,gnutls,nss,polarssl,mbedtls,cyassl,axtls,winssl,darwinssl} )

So I had a look at this link https://curl.haxx.se/docs/install.html And I've tried different commands:

root@carlo-ThinkPad-W541:~/curl-7.48.0# ./configure --with-ssl

trying to specify where is located my openSSL library:

root@carlo-ThinkPad-W541:~/curl-7.48.0# ./configure --with-ssl=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

setting an env variables:

root@carlo-ThinkPad-W541:~/curl-7.48.0# export LDFLAGS="-L/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/"
root@carlo-ThinkPad-W541:~/curl-7.48.0# ./configure --with-ssl

But nothing seems to work, the result is always the same:

[...]

Install libssl-dev, then configure should detect OpenSSL automatically without any flags.

Alternatively, you can install versions > 7.40 from the Wily or Xenial repositories.
