I have built libcurl with openssl all in static mode. In My C++ project, I added the required libcurl.a, libssl.a and libcrypto.a to my project and creates a symple curl session for testing.
If you really want to shrink size you should probably consider switching to a more minimalistic SSL library than OpenSSL. After that, you could opt to disable a couple of protocols libcurl supports by default but that will be a much smaller gain.
But that doesn't seem that curl or openssl takes that optimization options in mind.
You can easily just verify which flags are used when the compile commands run. A source code can't just ignore compiler optmization options at will.
I am not sure but did I miss to compile either curl or openssl with optimization options, if in case how to rebuild either curl or openssl with size optimization enabled ?
We have a section in docs/INSTALL discussing how Dan builds libcurl to a ~100KB lib on x86 that should be possbile to use as inspiration.
