So just to give an update on this,

After receiving a tip off I managed to get a work around for this issue.
 It turns out the problem was to do with using libcurl and openssl because
when I use polarssl there is no problem.

I tried figuring out exactly what the issue was but given ssl is not my
area of expertise I can't dig too deep before I get a little bit lost, just
thought I should let people know that there is a way round the issue if
they come across it.
