[R] How to enable https for R 3.1.2 on windows 8.1

[Jeff Newmiller]

Cc'd back to the list... I am a bad bet for one-on-one help.

Showing that your libcurl claims to support HTTPS is progress. I think that at this point you should read the last sentence in the curl FAQ 3.21, which I found by searching for "protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl".
