This config command doesn't specify a path; are you sure it ran the one you
wanted? And isn't OpenSSL's configure command called "Configure" not "config"
(I haven't built it myself in a while)?

Same here; hopefully, you didn't have any other "configure" command in your
PATH. Also, you didn't specify which OpenSSL you wanted curl to use. It would
most likely have picked up any system OpenSSL instead of the one you built.
Read docs/INSTALL and set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to the location of the
OpenSSL pkgconfig file you just built.

Once again, this is going to use the first curl in your PATH, not necessarily
the one you want to use.

Did you check the return code? That behaviour would be normal in the case of a
zero-length file, but since you say you're able to download it with another
client, there's something else going on. Try the -v option to see more verbose
logs of what's going on. Also, use the --version flag to make sure your curl
built with the OpenSSL you think it should be using, and "ldd path/to/curl" to
make sure it's using the right libraries at run-time that you want it to.
And once you get it working, you're unlikely to want to print the binary to
stdout, which is what that command will do; use -O to write it into a file
instead.
