Thanks for your response! I am certainly not doubting the usability of curl, but trying to understand specific use cases in the embedded space since we need to cite references to use cases (as part of our work). Since you mentioned it can be found in some BIOSes, can you mention certain embedded hardware (boards/microcontrollers) that use curl as part of their BIOS?

The curl home page at https://curl.haxx.se/ suggests that curl is used in cars, television sets, routers, audio equipment. If anyone can give particular examples of how/why curl is useful in these particular domains, it would help us understand practical use cases. Any references to blog posts, research papers are appreciated.

There are a number of embedded applications of curl. It's even found in
some BIOSes. Your question is why is curl any good? You should address a
few small problems for yourself to see why. It's a compact library with
good number of features and it just works. It's been around for two
decades and is a tried and tested library.
