Hi all
Are there any plans to enable SSL-support in the CMake-included
CURL library?
The CMake binaries will never ship with ssl (due to export control
issues). However, you can build CMake yourself and turn on the
build option to use SSL with the CURL. I might be able to start
shipping curl as a dll that could be replaced with an ssl version
without having to rebuild CMake. I did test this, it worked.

That's not a real solution for me, since I intend to distribute my
source code and people won't be happy if their download fails. And
replacing the DLL/so/dylib isn't an option either, because this
requires too much manual intervention.
That means I'm probably stuck with searching for wget/curl, using them
if present, and if they fail (or are not present), tell the user to
download the file with his browser and put it in a specific directory.
I wonder how e.g. Microsoft, Apple or Mozilla deal with these
ridiculous export control regulations?
