title: OpenWRT + https + git
body: <p>I've got a TP-Link MR3020 router flashed with OpenWRT 12.09, r36088 installed on it. I am trying to clone a git repository via HTTPS but get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is a similar problem but it was solved for CentOS. </p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8329485/git-clone-fatal-unable-to-find-remote-helper-for-https">&quot;Unable to find remote helper for &#39;https&#39;&quot; during git clone</a></p>
  
  <p>Following its advice, I made sure that curl is installed. However, I can't find any opkg packages for curl-devel and there doesn't seem to be any that I can manually download <a href="http://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz/?type=devel&amp;os=Linux" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz/?type=devel&amp;os=Linux</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I also found this question (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22506989/openwrt-git-clone-fatal-unable-to-find-remote-helper-for-http?rq=1">OpenWRT git clone fatal: Unable to find remote helper for &#39;http&#39;</a>) which is the exact question I have, but the git-http repository doesn't seem to exist for opkg. </p>
