Use single request only to download runtime #30

Closed TheAssassin closed 12 months ago

TheAssassin commented 12 months ago

This commit introduces the use of C++ to wrap all calls to libcurl and provide a simplified API. This API makes downloading the runtime much easier internally.

In the process of moving to a C++ wrapper class, the old "have libcurl write into an in-memory buffer directly" approach was replaced with a "use a WRITEDATA callback and handle this ourselves" one, allowing us to make just a single GET request to the server.
