As Daniel said, we cannot assume that libcurl was build with OpenSSL backend. We would need some way to detect this first.
[Benjamin]: I agree. But if libcurl want to access ESXi by https. OpenSSL will be used. And libvirt must call CRYPTO_set_id_callback/CRYPTO_set_locking_callback
to support multi-threads

Also, wasn't there a license problem with OpenSSL and the (L)GPL? Can libvirt legally be used with a libcurl that is linked with OpenSSL?
[Benjamin]: I think there is no open source license issue. We will not change libcurl or openssl source code. What we needed is to call openssl API(CRYPTO_set_id_callback/CRYPTO_set_locking_callback) 
to support multi-threads.
