curlpp11

A super easy c++11 curl wrapper.

It only wraps the bits that I need; I'm not planning to any more development on it unless I need it, but all contributions and requests are welcome.

Usage

Just download the two files into your project:

• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/matiu2/curlpp11/master/src/curl.hpp
• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/matiu2/curlpp11/master/src/curl.cpp

Usage Notes

• Always use the global sentry in your main function (see below)
• One curl::Easy per thread

Always use the global sentry in your main function

#include "curl.hpp"

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  curl::GlobalSentry curl;
  ...
}

Example Usage

Configure then perform and re-use

curl::Easy c;
std::string london;
std::string beirut;
c.url("http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/find?q=London")
  .perform(london)
  .url("http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/find?q=Beirut")
  .perform(beirut);

POST and PUT and DELETE

curl::Easy c;
c.url("http://httpbin.org/delete")
 .DELETE()
 .perform();

Remember to check the response codes (because we don't know if 500 is what you were hoping for)

c.perform();
if (c.responseCode() != 200)
  blowUpTheWorld();
