Well I found out that the problem is not with libcurl and not with OPENSSL.

The server has 2 network cards, so packets went one way and ACK came on the
other, resulting in a failed connect() or SSL_connect().

So basically, it was just a configuration problem.

I think it's because the SSL libraries are not initialized properly. I
tried:

curl_global_init( CURL_GLOBAL_SSL );

in the beginning but I either get
"SSL: couldn't create a context!" or "Couldn't resolve host ..."

Any ideas?

Thanks anyway!

This kind of error gets reported every now and then, even though it was a
long time since I last saw anyone experience this.

Unfortunately, I don't know why this happens for you and thus I don't have
any good advice at this point. :-(
