Won't install because node.js curl will not fetch https

[DevinRB]

I'm pretty new to Docpad and Node.js, so this might be a simple issue and I just don't realize it. The multimarkdown plugin won't install on my system because the node-gyp version of curl that I have won't fetch https addresses. The log is below.

I have a node.js installation v0.10.22 on Windows 8.1 installed with the installer downloadable from the node website.

Thanks for your help!

Same here, and seems like no one really cares much about docpad and it's plugins=)
Will try using marked for now
