small nit: arrange if's from "if (cheap || expensive)", i.e. no need for
getenv() if !nurl, but maybe compilers are smart enough for that...

nit: die() messages should start with lower-case (in CodingGuidelines), and I think it's better to quote both, so:

    die("unable to get pack '%s': '%s'", ...)

Or maybe without the second '%s', as in 3e8084f1884 (http: check
CURLE_SSL_PINNEDPUBKEYNOTMATCH when emitting errors, 2021-09-24) (which
I authored, but just copy/pasted the convention in the surrounding
code)>

Hrm, I haven't tested, but aren't both of those xstrndup's redundant to
using %*s instead of %s for the printf format? I.e.:

    die("failed to get '%*s'[...]", url.schema_len, url.url, )
