Does libcurl provide any event to application like START_OF_READ when

No.
The response that curl gets is TCP. TCP is just a stream of bytes and curl
reads bytes whenever there are any available on the network to read. There's
no way for curl to make any other distinction of what is being delivered.
If what comes over the TCP is multiple messages as you say, then you need to
parse the contents or otherwise send markers in that content to make your app
able to do the necessary separation.
Also remember that due to routing, package retransmits etc, what looked like
"gaps" between TCP segments from one end might not at all by any gaps in the
other end, and data that is sent back to back might end up arriving with time
between the packages.
