I switched from the multi interface to the easy interface and there i get
the error: Failed to curl_easy_perform(): unsupported protocol

Here is the code snipplet that produces the error, url is a https:// url:
<code>
        c = curl_easy_setopt ( eh, CURLOPT_URL, url );
        if (c) { printf ("Could not set URL.\n"); return; }

        c=curl_easy_setopt( eh, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, body );
        if (c!=0) { printf ("Failed to CURLOP_POSTFIELDS\n"); }

        /* set the size of the postfields data */
        c=curl_easy_setopt( eh, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE, strlen(body) );
        if (c!=0) { printf ("Failed to CURLOP_POSTFIELDSIZE\n"); }

        /* pass our list of custom made headers */
        c=curl_easy_setopt( eh, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, headers );
        if (c!=0) { printf ("Failed to CURLOP_HTTPHEADER\n"); }

        /* set the call back function for reply data/headers */
        c=curl_easy_setopt( eh, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, cb_incoming_data );
        if (c!=0) { printf ("Failed to CURLOP_WRITEFUNCTION\n"); }
        c=curl_easy_setopt( eh, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, (void *)4 );
        if (c!=0) { printf ("Failed to CURLOP_WRITEDATA\n"); }
        c=curl_easy_setopt( eh, CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION, cb_incoming_data );
        if (c!=0) { printf ("Failed to CURLOP_HEADERFUNCTION\n"); }
        c=curl_easy_setopt( eh, CURLOPT_WRITEHEADER, (void *)8 );
        if (c!=0) { printf ("Failed to CURLOP_WRITEHEADER\n"); }

        c=curl_easy_setopt( eh, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, (long) 1 );
        if (c!=0) { printf ("Failed to CURLOP_VERBOSE\n"); }

        c=curl_easy_setopt( eh, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
        if (c!=0) { printf ("Failed to CURLOP_VERIFYPEER\n"); }

        c=curl_easy_setopt( eh, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
        if (c!=0) { printf ("Failed to CURLOP_VERIFYHOST\n"); }

        c=curl_easy_perform( eh );
        if (c!=0) { printf ("Failed to curl_easy_perform(): %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(c) ); }

curl-config --feature says:
SSL
IPv6
libz

Did I do anything wrong when compiling curl ? Why could HTTPS be unsupported else ?
