Installing Homebrew on Snow Leopard (10.6.8)? (-Curl is outdated.)

I'm using a machine that needs to remain at OS X 10.6.8 for the time being. Trying to install Homebrew: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh) " But I get the following error: curl: (35) error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version Based on other posts, I'm pretty sure this is because the version of Curl I have is too old/outdated (7.19.7). - How can I update Curl to get it working? - Alternatively, how can I get Homebrew installed without using Curl? *-Thanks for any help/info.!*
