We are looking only for HTTP(S) right now. Will the resulting libcurl be able to connect to usually configured IIS and Apache HTTP(S) servers?

Yes. Try downloading it and building it yourself; if you can connect to the site using the resulting curl tool, you can use libcurl as well.

No; at least the MSVC build supports SPNEGO.
