http c++ library?

Question

Hi I am wondreing if there is some kind of C++ library that deals with HTTP, HTTPs, chunking etc. Google did not find anything.

Answer 1

Maybe libCURL?

Answer 2

I'm also using libCURL in my projects. It has bindings with many programming languages. (libcurl Bindings)
But using it without them is also very easy. Simplest example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <curl/curl.h>

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl;
  CURLcode res;

  curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "curl.haxx.se");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    /* always cleanup */ 
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
  return 0;
}

This example and many more can be found here.

Answer 3

cpp-netlib. It is pure C++ and it is linked to the boost community, although not yet part of boost.
