The dependency on Curl is through libpq. We have some server-side
features that pull in libpq and would transitively depend on Curl. But
for Curl to be initialized server-side, the two peers still have to
agree on the use of OAuth.
It seems unlikely that users would opt into that for, say,
postgres_fdw in PG18, because the Device Authorization flow is the
only one we currently ship, and it's intended for end users. A flow
that prints a code to stderr is not very helpful for your proxy.
