I think a good first step will be to get a little test app up and running that can just hit an HTTP endpoint with libcurl.
Doing that took all of 2 minutes. Already working on the actual implementation right now and trying to feel it out.
Hi! Just found this out. How is it going? Is it worth mentionning on http://vindinium.org/starters ?
@ornicar Hello! I probably won't work on this again for awhile (I get an itch to write some C code every once in awhile which is how it started). It's not finished right now, but if you want to stick it on the list and say "contributors welcome" or something similar, someone who wants to write a bot in C might come and finish it up. I'll go through and document/comment what's here if you want to do that.
This looks pretty straightforward. I can use the other starter kits for inspiration regarding the API of the library. To ensure cross-platform-ness for the HTTP stuff I'll use libcurl.
Documentation will be important, and it's been a long time since I've made a C library, so may need to do some research on the best ways to do that. Doxygen docs always seemed ...lacking to me. Maybe the GitHub wiki would be better.
