It does? I can't recall any such requirements. I think you're talking about
some kind of pre-built binary package when you say that. You should be able
to build curl from sources against pretty old versions of OpenSSL.

They all require an old version of OpenSSL? Most programs have this "requires
at least version X" of OpenSSL.

What if your problem was solved in a later version of php, the php-curl
wrapper or curl then? (I'm not saying it was, because I don't think this is a
curl problem and I don't know enough about php or the php-curl module to
identify things like this.)
