Simple libcurl wrapper for when you need to GET a website with minimum effort.
This is not supposed to be a package on its own, but a thing you drop into your project.
I made this because the curl wrapper I used before is no longer maintained and the other wrappers are either incomplete or unmaintained as well.
Example program
#include "curl_wrapper.hpp"
#include <iostream>
namespace cw = curl_wrapper;
cw::CURLWrapper curl;
const auto answer{curl.make_http_request(cw::http_method::GET,
"http://example.com/")};
if (answer)
{
std::cout << answer;
}
