I have also this problem with brew install php the problem persists even after deleting all the files from

/Users/currentuser/Library/Caches/Homebrew/downloads/

and

brew install php again

i have also tried

HOMEBREW_FORCE_BREWED_CURL=1 brew install openssl

It might be using the installed curl instead of system curl. From man brew

set HOMEBREW_FORCE_BREWED_CURL
