Description

cURLpp is a C++ wrapper for libcURL. libcURL is described as:

First, I need to quote Daniel Stenberg, the maintener of libcURL: You can use libcURL instantly from within your C++ programs. You don't need cURLpp for that, cURLpp just adds an OO'ified layer that libcURL doesn't normally provide. It means that you need to be sure that you need, or want, cURLpp features. If not, I suggest to use directly the libcURL library. So, what are thoses features that cURLpp offers?

  • You can query handles for option values (version 0.5.x and newer only).
  • It uses the C++ standard library structures instead of home made ones.
  • It is exception safe.
  • It is type safe.

Documentation

The programming guide is here. This guide is greatly inspired by the libcURL guide, that I strongly suggest to read. There's also some examples in the "examples/" source directory of cURLpp.
