This is simple. You need curl and it should be recent.

Even better you should have actual real curl released 8 Jan 2020 as
version 7.68.0 : https://curl.haxx.se/download.html

It is wonderful. It works. It does everything you want. It may even
make coffee and you can port it almost anywhere. I know, I have done
so. You can even get a snazzy CURL tee-shirt. I have one and you should
too.

If you want the latest sources from git then you can do :

     git clone https://github.com/curl/curl.git

See https://github.com/curl/curl

Right. Do that.

You have CentOS which is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux where
everything will be very old and out of date. Everything. However it
is very stable and useful for production environments that want support
$contracts$ and that is the purpose. However CentOS will have some
software repo services ( somewhere ) to provide more up to date software
however you are far far better to just get the code and compile it
yourself.
