Issues establising SSL connection after a wget command

[Eric Ntonfo]

Hello,
I am running an Ubuntu 12.04 TLS server and can't use wget to download software packages
The command
wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.63.0.tar.bz2
fails with the following error

--2019-06-17 22:10:11--  http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.63.0.tar.bz2

OpenSSL: error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version
Unable to establish SSL connection.

I am unable to fix this issue. I have upgraded from openssl 1.0.1 on my Ubuntu box to openssl 1.0.2 having heard that this latest version fix the bug
But still having it.

Can someone help please?
Regards
Eric
