Curious situation, that we can hope will be resolved with action at CRAN.
FWIW RCurl for windows is building/checking without incident:
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/checkSummaryWin.html
The UniProt.ws check failure on malbec2 etc. seems unrelated, the URL noted

It's not something I need, per se, but what other packages that depend on
RCurl need. This issue was brought to my attention because someone on the
support site had a problem with the UniProt.ws package, which uses RCurl to
download data. Given the reverse dependency tree for RCurl I assume this
I reproduced the problem you noted. Rebuilding RCurl with (an updated?)
