When I try to run it, i get the following error:
Curl error 1: Protocol "htttps" not supported or disabled in libcurl

now why in the world would it point to a non existant “htttps” protocol? My webserver does redirect http requests to https but in the web browser it does so fine without errors,what gives?

not sure what to type here.
