Comment (by raimue@…):

 The issue is mostly not libcurl itself, but system's libcurl linked
 against system's OpenSSL 0.9.8, which does not support TLS >= 1.1.
 Therefore servers that require TLS >= 1.1 can no longer be reached
 (#51112, #52604). As of OS X 10.9 Mavericks, system's libcurl will use
 [https://developer.apple.com/reference/security/1654508-secure_transport
 Secure Transport] instead. Secure Transport supports TLS >= 1.1 as of OS X
 10.8 Mountain Lion.

 If we still wanted to support OS X <= 10.7, we would need both libcurl and
 a [https://curl.haxx.se/docs/ssl-compared.html compatible SSL/TLS library]
 in base.
