BOINC is transitioning to use libcurl for HTTP operations. This will allow BOINC to use HTTPS (secure HTTP) for scheduler requests and file transfers.

You only need libcurl if you are building the *new* core client. If you do need it for that purpose make sure you get version 7.14.0 or later. I just used 7.14.1 on Linux and it seems fine but I can't say about Windows. So if you are a builder then yes is the answer otherwise no.
