Thanks for the answer. No idea if there is a consideration to include
new library or not, I got impression from some other discussions on this
list, it is rather not.
I saw the wiki page about GNU vs Non GNU and the remark on the bottom of
the page about being Non GNU 2017, but I see you are using LGPL license.
For the technical side, no idea how libwget is comparable to
libcurl. About libcurl I know it is avialable included on Windows and
MacOS and avialable for probaly any GNU/Linux *BSD distro and it
supports lots of protocols, SSL implementations (GnuTLS, OpenSSL, NSS
etc) and has very good documentation including some published books.
I am sure libwget has its own merits too, I am just not familiar with
it, so I am not saying neither for or against.
