Detailed Description

A blocking HTTP client for the calls Motion Master makes out.

Motion Master is a server, and this is the small counterpart it needs as a client: it downloads its own TLS certificate from a release, and it drives the auto-tuning child process over HTTP on loopback. Both calls block the thread they run on, which is what every caller wants — each one already runs off the event loop, on a router worker thread or on a startup path.

libcurl lives behind these two functions. It is linked privately, so no curl type appears in a header and no other target inherits the dependency.
