If HTTP is your only interest at the moment, then I can conditionally recommend lwIP as a TCP/IP stack for use with libcurl. The version we were forced to use (hacked by the processor vendor's software team) was a few versions out of date. As I wrote before, we had problems with any combination of overlapped transactions, reused connections, and secure transactions (HTTPS with TLS).

Things have probably improved with newer releases of lwIP. You can access the lwIP users mailing list and list archives at http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lwip-users and see if others in that community are using libcurl.
