Don't use such outdated versions.

You might need to set "" as password then, but I'm not entirely sure.

This is at least more recent, but I would urge you to take the plunge and go
to a modern version while you're at it!

I'm sure sure this error is because an OpenSSL function returns error with the
given conditions. You can read the lib/ssluse.c code to see the exact details,
but it feels like a problem with the inputs as libcurl doesn't really do much
with what you tell it other than pass on the information to the SSL library...
