libcurl base64-encodes control data in a few places automatically when required (e.g. for Basic authentication), but it won't encode data. If your application requires base64-encoded data, it will need to be so encoded in the app. And those two functions are not actually part of the libcurl API, so they aren't even available for use in apps, anyway.
So does it mean that if I use TLS and HTTPS I need not to apply it separately and it will be done automatically??????
It means that libcurl provides an API to do data transfers. You can use that API as documented. libcurl offers transfers using a larger amount of different protocols, and some of those protocols do sometimes require that data is sent base64-encoded and then libcurl will do so.
