so it is more of the curl problem then SSL which i even tried to reinstall.

ok. in fact, i tried both RPM and source-packages. When RPMs ssl version did
not work, i downloaded the source and configure and make and install as you
have said.

firstly, i used the command "Configure -with-ssl" where my SSL directory is
in usr/local/bin/ssl

strangely enough after "make" and "make install" the cURL cannot work with
https even though i did specify ssl cURL.

any ideas?

thanks in advance.
