picohttpclient

A generic, lightweight HTTP 1.1 client. It was born out of the need to quickly do very simple HTTP requests, without adding larger dependencies to a project.

• no complex features, no chunking, no ssl, no keepalive ...
• not very tested, use at your own risk!
• it PURPOSELY does not use any feature-complete libraries (like cURL) to stay lean and header-only.
• it does not use C++11 features to fit well in legacy code bases
• it has some suboptimal properties (like many string copy ops)

Usage as easy as (see main.cpp for an example):

HTTPResponse response = HTTPClient::request(HTTPClient::GET, URI("http://example.com"));
cout << response.body << endl;
