HTTP client library for Staticlibs

travis appveyor

This project is a part of Staticlibs.

This library is built on top of libcurl. It uses curl_multi API to implement streaming access to HTTP resources.

Link to the API documentation.

How to build

CMake is required for building.

pkg-config utility is used for dependency management. For Windows users ready-to-use binary version of pkg-config can be obtained from tools_windows_pkgconfig repository. See StaticlibsPkgConfig for Staticlibs-specific details about pkg-config usage.

Perl is also required for building, Windows users can obtain ready-to-use Perl distribution from tools_windows_perl repository.

NASM is also required for building on Windows x86 (optional on Windows x86_64 - will be used if present in PATH). You can obtain ready-to-use NASM distribution from tools_windows_nasm repository.

To build the library on Windows using Visual Studio 2013 Express run the following commands using Visual Studio development command prompt (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\Shortcuts\VS2013 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt):

git clone --recursive https://github.com/staticlibs/external_zlib.git
git clone --recursive https://github.com/staticlibs/external_openssl.git
git clone --recursive https://github.com/staticlibs/external_curl.git
git clone https://github.com/staticlibs/staticlib_config.git
git clone https://github.com/staticlibs/staticlib_support.git
git clone https://github.com/staticlibs/staticlib_concurrent.git
git clone https://github.com/staticlibs/staticlib_io.git
git clone https://github.com/staticlibs/staticlib_http.git
cd staticlib_http
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
msbuild staticlib_http.sln

Cloning of external_zlib, external_openssl and external_curl is not required on Linux - system libraries will be used instead.

See StaticlibsToolchains for more information about the toolchain setup and cross-compilation.
