Indeed - is there a list of existing ports anywhere?
(googling "libcurl port" just gets swamped with references to "port" in the
"IP port"
sense.) :-(

I'm not "comitted" to a particular stack - but ones like Nichelite, LwIP,
uIP, etc
tend to be the ones touted by the microcontroller manufacturers...

That kind of figures - thanks for the heads-up.

Maybe I'd be better off looking at some of the simpler entries at
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/competitors.html ?
