[OT] small footprint https client for linux?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  sorry for being off-topic but i figure this is the best place to ask
this.  i have a request to, from my little busybox-based embedded
linux system, submit HTTPS requests.  any recommendations for the
smallest footprint HTTPS client i can cram onto this system (along
with the corresponding libs, obviously)?

  thanks for any pointers.  URLs will be just fine, thanks.
