On windows 10 when you get the follosing error running your ruby script



LoadError: Could not open library 'libcurl': The specified module could not be found.
Could not open library 'libcurl.dll': The specified module could not be found.

Could not open library 'libcurl.so.4.dll': The specified module could not be found



you can solve the problem by downloading the latest curl binary for win x32 or x64

https://curl.haxx.se/download.html

(ex. https://curl.haxx.se/windows/dl-7.63.0/curl-7.63.0-win64-mingw.zip )

and copy the /bin/ folder from the zip to your [ruby installation path]/bin

In the case of the 64 bit version of curl also rename

libcurl-x64.dll
to
libcurl.dll
