macos - How do I enable curl SSL on Mac OS X?

Question

I'm using Terminal on Mac OS X 10.11.2 and I can't process any https requests. I always get this error:

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

I tried this but I get a "wrong directory" error:

./configure --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl

Any advice would be helpful.

EDIT:

This is the error I get when trying to install with ssl:

configure: error: OpenSSL libs and/or directories were not found where specified!

SOLUTION:

For Mac OS X 10.6 or later use this to enable SSL:

./configure --with-darwinssl

The Homebrew team has recently removed all install options for the cURL formula, which means you will not be able to do brew install curl --with-openssl now. Instead, do brew install curl-openssl. Make sure to uninstall the old one with brew uninstall curl first.
