title: How do i get cURL to use https
body: <p>I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. cURL's installed but does not include HTTPS as a protocol that it will use.</p>
  
  <p>For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>gives me this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>curl: (1) Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Checking curl -V results in:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Protocols: dict file ftp gopher http imap pop3 rtsp smtp telnet tftp
  Features: IPv6 Largefile
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>HTTPS is missing from that list... so, how do I install cURL with support for HTTPS?</p>
  
  <p>Oh, and <code>sudo apt-get install curl</code> is what I did to install it in the first place.</p>
