So far we've been using libcurl because we wanted a complete (and easy to use)
HTTP implementation that would, for example, be able to make use of proxies and
handle HTTP redirections properly.

The minimal HTTP implementation in OCSP might also be sufficient for what's
required by CMP. We will look into using that instead of libcurl, and get back
to you.
