httping: built without SSL support

[Alexander E. Patrakov]

Httping mentions SSL-related options in its manpage and has libssl-dev as a build-dependency, but the SSL support is not actually there.

ubuntu $ lsb_release -rd

For comparison, here is what I get on an Arch Linux system:

arch $ httping --version
