Is there any way for curl to initialize SSL on-demand ?
Yes, but not without drawbacks.
If you don't call curl_global_init() at all, libcurl will notice that on first
use and then libcurl will call global_init by itself with a default bitmask.
That automatic call of course will prevent the application from being able to
set its own bitmask choice, and also the global_init function is not
(necessarily) thread safe while all other libcurl functions are so the
internal call to global_init from an otherwise thread-safe function is
unfortunate.
