Git not pulling from https even though curl was installed

Just fixed a git error that was driving me crazy. After building from source I was getting the following error when trying to clone a repository via https:

fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'https'

But I couldn't understand why I was getting this since curl was installed and I the defaults are to build in curl support. The answer came in a search through the available packages. I was missing the curl development headers (libcurl-devel). Make sure to rebuild git if you needed to install the development headers.

So if you run into this error.. verify you have the development headers. And if you get stuck on a problem for awhile, take a breather and clear your mind.
