The lisp snippets for installing el-get download the full el-get installer via https, eg the "lazy installer":
```el
;; So the idea is that you copy/paste this code into your *scratch* buffer,
;; hit C-j, and you have a working el-get.
(url-retrieve
"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dimitri/el-get/master/el-get-install.el"
(lambda (s)
(goto-char (point-max))
(eval-print-last-sexp)))
```
but Emacs doesn't support https out of the box on Windows. As mentioned [here][gnutls], the needed dlls can be retrieved from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/.
- Extract the `dll`s in `bin` from `gnutls-3.0.9-w32-bin.zip` into Emacs' `bin/`
- but **not** the .exe files, otherwise you might hit [emacs bug 15905][15905].
- You will need to restart Emacs so it can notice the new dlls.
