You can't just make a "secure page" with a normal server without you
configuring it for that purpose. It all comes down to how the server you run
works. You need to read the http daemon manual, this is not curl business.

For apache+mod_ssl there's no need to use certificates if you don't want to.

You can always try https://www.openssl.org and I run a test server (that
might work) at https://daniel.haxx.se
