Use libcurl instead of hacky HTTP download code #2

Closed vgmoose closed 6 years ago

vgmoose commented 6 years ago

In Utils.cpp, on Switch targets, libcurl isn't able to be used. This results in slower, unreliable http download code.

There's a libcurl portlib available on dkp-pacman, but using it results in the following compilation error:

/opt/devkitpro/portlibs/switch/lib/libcurl.a(libcurl_la-mime.o): In function curl_mime_filedata':
mime.c:(.text+0x1a50): undefined reference toaccess'

What's your problem exactly? Removed the -DNOCURL flag, added -lcurl, and all builds flawlessly and works fine.

You're right! It used to be crashing my Switch (after resolving the above mentioned build problems) but with the latest libcurl package everything looks good.

Removed NOCURL code from https://github.com/vgmoose/get/commit/2338da592f3e874cda1f6bd6d060c06327d8dcd7 Updated progress bar to use curl's progress callback: https://github.com/vgmoose/appstorenx/commit/023373a60040ab45edb4e882c8f58232f74be86a
