since busybox was bumped from 1.27.1 to 1.33.0, https support is broken.
1.27 used the host openssl binary via a pipe to achieve tls connections, whereas 1.33.0 has its own half-baked tls library which considerably increases binary size, or can alternatively be linked against openssl which is even worse.
until the issue is resolved, i will add curl to stage1, which is used by default instead of wget, if available due to precisely this issue.
