** [bugs:#1483] Workaround to avoid OPENSSL**
**Status:** pending-invalid

User reads above "Include information about what version of curl/libcurl your
problem appears with (curl -V is usually very good)! "
$ curl -V
curl: relocation error: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4: symbol
SSLv3_client_method, version OPENSSL_1.0.0 not defined in file
libssl.so.1.0.0 with link time reference
That just shows you how serious this bug is.
Or lets say the user just wants to download some
http://example.com/thing that has nothing to do with HTTPS.
So what is needed is a way, via the command line, or his .curlrc etc. to
say --don't-bother-with-ssl-I-wont-be-needing-it .
That way at least curl -V would work again.
Useful on systems like Debian where curl has been totally unusable for
the last year due to https://bugs.debian.org/768476 etc. stuff.
