How to make curl work?

P.S I reinstalled curl by this command brew install --with-openssl curl

Solution

Had this same issue with Sierra and it seemed to be that even after running brew install --with-openssl curl, it still wan't being picked up by the path.

To begin, I had to force install the package with brew install --force --with-openssl curl

I then had to force link the new version of curl with brew link --force curl

After closing and reopening my terminal, it worked (this might have been what made the restart work with the above answer).

This fixed it for me ... if you already had curl installed outside of brew, ensure that the path brew installs curl to is returned by the which curl command
