The examples in the CURLINFO_*_T documentation were wrong. Fixed in
cbc0f13 [1].

If CURLINFO_SPEED_DOWNLOAD_T is not available in the include headers
(avail since 7.55.0) then a program that needs it should fail to compile
due to missing symbol. However, it is possible to build with one set of
include headers and then your program actually loads a different shared
version of libcurl. If that version were older than 7.55.0 then in that
case getinfo would return CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION (48) or
CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT (43) depending on how old the version.

Does it only happen with a specific website? What happens if you use
http://example.com? Can you give us your printf("%s\n", curl_version());
and a minimal example that we can use to reproduce?
