What specific Puppy version?

Tools to do what?

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o

All have the same problem
You try to run the program in the terminal, click on the help information, if the official website of the software is https, it can’t be opened, this prompt will appear.

I'm not sure what program is being referred to here?

However, from time to time I have used the "curl" command to
download a resource or to compare with my GUI based browser
if it chokes on a web page.

curl is basically a command line http/https fetcher. It has a handy option to limit certificate chain checking for buggy SSL connections.

AFAIK most puppy versions come with curl.

It is not as smart as your average browser so does not fetch a
whole page.

The referenced software has its own installation instructions here to install binaries, and here to install from source, which they recommend for Linux and macOC systems. It looks like the requirements are more complex than "command line tools to handle https".
