       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

         /* ask libcurl to use TLS version 1.0 or later */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1);

         /* Perform the request */
         curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }
