I would be surprised if nobody had tried to make a mini-curl that could go in busybox. The idea of having a tiny version of the program which handles the 90% cases by itself but can call out to the real-deal bigger brother when necessary is a nice one. This sort-of happens already with lots of common tools which are shadowed by shell builtins, why not curl?

For embedded systems we'll usually make our own curl with the exact protocols features we need.
No surprise but curl can do that too!
