On https://curl.haxx.se/download.html ,
under Win32 - generic, the third line is
Win32 7zip 7.50.3 binary SSL Darren Owen
leading to
http://winampplugins.co.uk/curl/
The offered downloads "have been built with OpenSSL, ngttp2 and IPv6
support" and are based on the most recent source.
I did a minimal test under Win10 with:
PS C:\Users\mouton> C:\GK\Logiciel\curl.exe -O
https://curl.haxx.se/index.html
You could get a more recent cert file from
https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html
The J user/programmer should definitely learn about SSL/TLS before use
and IMO the following URLs should be added to J doc:
https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html

The gethttp addon only bundles win32 curl binary so that I think
using native curl on linux and osx is assumed. I have very
little real experience in using curl, since I normally use wget.
You suggested replacing the curl.exe in gethttp addon with one
that with ssl, and I found there are many windows binary
provided on the webpage. My question was which _windows_ binary
should be a candidate to be bundled with gethttp addon and
more importantly should we trust the cert file contained in those
packages.

That is a good question.
I ran through the download wizard a few times and it gave plausible
answers for win32 and win64. I did not test them, but I can if you
think that's a worthwhile exercise.
I also tried the download wizard for osx and it linked me to an
external site (fink), and the download links were very finely grained
for osx version, but they did not work. So I looked closer, and on OSX
I am using /usr/bin/curl which I think means it came from apple.
Double checking (brew info curl) gave me this note:
macOS already provides this software and installing another version in
parallel can cause all kinds of trouble.
So probably best to not install curl on osx.
Similarly, for linux, it's probably best to use a native curl.
Does this help?
Thanks,

There are many windows buils at its official website,

Which one is the best for inclusion in J addons?

Further note:
gethttp uses the instance of curl installed in addons/web/gethttp/bin/curl.exe
Currently, this is being built without libssl support, which is why
gethttp fails with https urls.
This probably should be fixed, given how prevalent https is becoming
(boosted by hostile activities on the internet, and the general
tendency of people to not know how to deal with that).
Thanks,

Things like https 64 bit curl are so fundamental that the irritants
should be crushed on common OSs by now.
i just used curl under W10 64b, natively in powershell, and it worked
on a https url...
