# Unofficial [libcurl](https://curl.haxx.se/) development binaries
[](/LICENSE)
[](../../releases/latest)
[](../../releases/latest)
### Webpage:
https://github.com/negrutiu/libcurl-devel
### Features:
* [libcurl](https://curl.haxx.se/) **Windows** binaries for **x86** and **amd64** architectures
* [OpenSSL](https://www.openssl.org/) and [schannel](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthn/secure-channel/) as SSL backends
* Built-in support for [HTTP/2](https://www.nghttp2.org/)
* Binaries built with [Microsoft Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/) (Debug and Release configurations) and [msys2](https://www.msys2.org/)/[mingw](http://mingw.org/)
* Package contents:
* Configurations compatible with legacy Windows versions (e.g. `mingw-openssl-Release-Win32-Legacy` works well in Win NT4+)
* Static and shared libraries for `libcurl`, `openssl`, `nghttp2`, `zlib`
* Debugging files (`*.pdb`)
* Test tools (`curl.exe`, `openssl.exe`)

### [OpenSSL](https://www.openssl.org/) vs. [schannel](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthn/secure-channel) (aka WinSSL):
Parameter|Comments
:---|:---
File sizes|`schannel` is a Windows native engine, `OpenSSL` is a 3rd party engine.
Binaries built on top of `schannel` are smaller.
Certificate store|`schannel` uses the system certificate store (run `certmgr.msc` to view it) whereas
`OpenSSL` requires [cacert.pem](https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem) alongside your binaries, which adds another 200-300KB to your package...
Although `schannel` sounds better, older Windows versions (XP, Vista, Win7) stop receiving certificate store updates, so they quickly become unable to connect to modern HTTPS servers.
If your binaries are required to support older Windows versions, `OpenSSL` is your only choice here.
Protocols & Ciphers|`schannel` has different capabilities depending on the Windows version (e.g. XP only supports TLS 1.0) (See [this blog](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/kaushal/support-for-ssltls-protocols-on-windows)).
3rd party software can interfere with `schannel` (See [this article](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/245030/how-to-restrict-the-use-of-certain-cryptographic-algorithms-and-protoc)).
`OpenSSL` supports all modern encryption including TLS1.3, HTTP/2, etc.
