I'm inclined to simply answer: This is already taken care of by libcurl.

A libcurl build against OpenSSL would even use SSL_read() to get a hold of
the data. Perhaps this libcurl example might be helpful:
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/getinmemory.html

The magic is that libcurl will provide you the decrypted data through the
CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION callback, for example. No need to bother with
SSL_read() on the libcurl end.

does this help?
