Not that I know of.

Out of curiousity: does this mean that there is some kind of HTTP(S) library
that Wind River provides/supports for VxWorks?

Knowing the competition is always good! ;-)

It has been a good while since I last looked at VxWorks (we're talking almost
ten years ago) but afaik it has (at least optional) POSIX layers and using a
such it certainly feels possible to port libcurl to it.

Without a POSIX layer, you may get a hard time to adjust the POSIX-ness of
libcurl's code to the VxWorks way of doing things. It still will be possible,
but it will give you more work.

If you want HTTPS you need a SSL layer and that's probably gonna be the bigger
part of your work. libcurl supports both OpenSSL and GnuTLS.

I think you should start with a freshly generated config.h file and then edit
it according to what you think is fit for your target/compiler.
