My understanding is that LC Server has no event loop, and libURL needs that because all of its HTTP handling is done asynchronously (sync operations are emulated with an internal flag), which would require an event loop to process.
One option might be to write your own replacement for the portions of libURL needed, and I started down this road a while back so I could get truly synchronous operations. However, since web servers are increasingly using HTTPS, the overhead of handling TLS was more time-consuming than I cared to bother with.
If someone else has time on their hands it might be useful to have such a lib, but now that tsNet is in v8+ the use cases for it would seem limited.
