Hi Robert
As Brian Ripley wrote in a message to the list earlier today,
you will want a more recent version of libcurl.
RCurl can be easily made to check the availability of all the different
options to handle old versions of libcurl, but this slows down the
installation for everyone. But more importantly, it is advisable
to update curl to avoid some security issues in older versions
and to access the improvements.
