curl error when calling rsconnect::setAccount

Question

I just got a new computer and for some reason this is happening to me when I try to run the rsconnect command in my window. Has anyone else have the same problem.

Answer 1

this is almost certainly caused by compiling curl/libcurl with ./configure --without-ssl

re-compile curl and make sure to run ./configure with --with-ssl, and this error should go away.
