The NSE NonStop port observed that at 2.7.3 (admittedly old) that libcurl was not used for local operations including status, log, reset, etc., but was needed for push, pull, fetch (a.k.a. network) operations. The libcurl.so is loaded statically at start-up for any components needing the latter operations. Added it for local processing is not going to help performance :(, which is quite bad enough on our platform.
