These mean that your CURL setup cannot talk to external servers. Thus it's basically useless to you in its current state.

As for SSL, when it says that CURL requires SSL, it doesn't mean that you need an SSL certificate for your domain. It means that your CURL configuration on the server is unable to communicate via SSL because it's not been setup/compiled with SSL support. It uses SSL to talk to external servers securely.
