Hmm, license of CURL seems to not have any incompatibilites with OpenSSL
license. May be this code should be considered to be moved into openssl
library? At least to the set of examples provided with OpenSSL.
Better - as API function is libssl with appropriate switch in the
s_client utility. So all users of the library can use robust and well
tested code.
