I am working an AIX 7.2 system where I am required to use the FIPS version of OpenSSL.  The latest AIX toolbox curl version requires libssl.so.1.1 and libcrypto.so.1.1.  The latest FIPS version of OpenSSL only has the 1.0.2 version of the required libraries and isn't expected to be updated with the 1.1 libraries until Q4 of this year.

We have the 7.52.1-1 version of curl running on the test system so wondering if there are an repo's out there that might contain the older version of curl that I could download?

I found a 7.52.1-1 version on the following site "http://www.oss4aix.org/download/RPMS/curl/"

 but don't know if those are the older Toolbox versions.  I downloaded the 7.52.1-1 version but it's telling me it needs openssl 1.0.2j-2.  I tried curl-7.72.0-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm which says it needs 1.0.2u-1 and the FIPS version of OpenSSL we are running is VRMF: 20.16.102.2102 (1.0.2u with FIPS 2.0.16 version) which is running the 1.0.2u version.  

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Hi Justin,

The web version of the OSS Linux toolbox for AIX has old versions of everything going way back. Just browse the repo.

You'll find old versions of curl here: https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/curl/
