The error message seems to be OpenSSL telling you that your config file is wrong (on line 37) so that it can't parse it correctly or similar.

But also, that error shouldn't cause anything to stop ("It ignores all errors silently" the documentation says[*]).

If you try to get a HTTPS page with curl, what exactly fails?

** [bugs:#1401] STR_COPY:variable has no value**
**Status:** open
**Labels:** openssl VC9 VC11 Windows 2008

I got this error after upgrading to libcurl 7.37.1 and compiling php_curl.dll with it on Windows
	C:\phpdev\php55nts.x32>php -v
	Auto configuration failed
	7140:error:0E065068:configuration file routines:STR_COPY:variable has no value:.
	\crypto\conf\conf_def.c:618:line 37
To analyze what went wrong, I went back to libcurl 7.37.0 and applied the openssl patches since that release:
7.37.0 unpatched: OK
7.37.0 with the 'Fix uninitialized variable use in NPN callback': still OK
7.37.0 with the additional 'call OPENSSL_config for initing engines' patch: error
So this commit broke it on my server:
https://github.com/bagder/curl/commit/c50ce859187cabecee5470a95a51c35bf73d3c47
OS: Windows 2008 R2
OpenSSL 1.0.1h
PHP-versions: 5.3-29-dev, 5.4.31, 5.5.15
So it happened both with PHP compiled with VC9 (5.3, 5.4) as with PHP compiled with VC11 (5.5).
Other point that is relevant: it only happened on the production server. I could not reproduce it on the developmet server, which runs Windows 2008 R2 as well. And also on my laptop with Windows 7 it did not happen.
Furthermore: it went wrong with every php-extension that used libcurl (php_http.dll for instance).
