When I try curl http://google.com it works however when I do it with https, it gives this error:

curl: (1) Protocol "https" not supported or disabled in libcurl

I've searched for various answers but none explains how to fix it?

    Can you add the following command and results to your question: curl --version | grep Protocols .... Helpful as well if you could give the exact curl command that is failing? – andrew.46 Sep 07 '16 at 06:49

    The output of which curl and apt-cache policy curl would provide some helpful insight too. – David Foerster Sep 07 '16 at 09:23

    Are you using Ubuntu? – Anwar Sep 08 '16 at 13:48

  • Did you set proxy? Try to unset http_proxy or https_proxy if it was set. – 32cupo Feb 19 '20 at 11:42
  • How is this the right answer. I tried to install myself and got countless errors. --with-ssl says that SSL is not available. Why isn't what you get from apt install curl going to be the right thing? It was on other ubuntu systems. – sjatkins Aug 22 '21 at 07:33

Please install curl with SSL

Download:

Installing with SSL:

  • Unzip -> open terminal inside the directory PATH and type:

    ./configure --with-ssl
make
sudo make install

You can also specify the path to SSL installation, see ./configure --help for details

A quick google found this curl FAQ on troubleshooting this problem.

But I actually would suggest to delete your current manual install of curl, and just install it with sudo apt-get install curl. The default Ubuntu install has the right libraries for https (and many more).
