[Bug 501557] Re: libwww-curl-perl is compiled without libssl, which breaks functionality

Hi, Ansgar, thanks for the response.

For most sites, the aforementioned code works. But it seems that there
are some that gnutls cannot decrypt, only libssl.

I know nothing about Certificates and HTTPS encryption, but I find it
might be very dependent of the site in question. The site is a corporate
intranet site, so you wouldn't be able to test it anyway, but I though
that, if you know something about certificates and encryption, the
information of the verbose mode of libcurl can tell you something about
the encryption type and certificate needed for this to work. I do not
know any public sites which use this same type of certificate and
encryption, and in fact I don't even know how to look for it.

I do not have the libwww-curl-perl/4.09-1, I'll try to download and test
it, but I strongly suspect this is indeed caused by the lack of libssl
in libwww-curl-perl. If it's absent as it was in 4.07, it won't work.
