This is the info I was looking for. I think this explains it. Both curls and the Safari I was testing with are a couple years old and look to be versions just before the ones that support the newer TLSs. It never occurred to me that they wouldn't have support given that even 1.2 came out back in '08, but whatever. All the versions of IE I tried and the older FirefoxESR all technically support 1.1/1.2, but it's turned it off by default so you have to manually enable it (wtf?). Thanks again for your help.
