curl_wrapper

Light 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I made this because the curl wrapper I used before is no longer maintained and the other wrappers are either incomplete or unmaintained as well.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;

int main()
{
    cw::CURLWrapper curl;
    const auto answer{curl.make_http_request(cw::http_method::GET,
                                             "http://example.com/")};
    if (answer)
    {
        std::cout << answer;
    }
}
