[SOLVED] https not downloading.. please help..

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, if this is not, please forgive me, but everytime I try to download a https file, no matter with what app, I always get this error..

For example using pacaur to download a file via https:

  -> Downloading license.html...
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100   250    0   250    0     0   1889      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--  1893
  0     0    0 52500    0     0   132k      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--  132k
==> ERROR: Unknown download protocol: https
    Aborting...
:: chromium-pepper-flash cleaned

And even with trying to build with makepkg and downloading from aur the tarball...

tim@blastoise ~/aur/chromium-pepper-flash $ makepkg
==> Making package: chromium-pepper-flash 13.0.0.182-1 (Sat Apr 19 18:32:17 UTC 2014)

I'm stumped..

You're not the only one that is stumped. I just tried the chromium-pepper-flash package with makepkg -si and it worked.

Re: [SOLVED] https not downloading.. please help..

it's not a package specific issue, anything that tries to download with curl via https always errors out with that error message. so it's not just a package specific issues, i've had it happen on multiple packages.

Just out of curiousity; is your system fully up to date (openssl comes to mind)?

Yes, it is always fully up to date. I just don't understand why pacman/wrappers wont let me download from https. Maybe ill try rebuilding pacman from source.
