Sounds like there would be no ZLIB support within OpenSSL then, however
size of resultign libcurl is not decreased - No point in that - at least
not from my point of view.

That sounds good. All features enabled for both libs - why would you want
to have it any other way??

As per my understanding here, the application payload first gets compressed by libCurl and then resulting libcurl data again be compressed by OpenSSL. Is it true?

Why? You already included the ZLIB with the OpenSSL build... so this
doesn't make sense to me. I can't see a reason for that - excepct if you
want to disable gzip decompression of http responses.

I am using libcurl library just for https communication..
