Are there any CURL alternatives for C++?

c++, curl, http

Solution

There are lots of choices! Try libwww -- but be warned, most people strongly prefer `libcurl`. It's much easier to use.

Problem

I hate CURL it is too bulky with too many dependencies when all I need to do is quickly open a URL. I don't even need to retrieve the contents of the web page, I just need to make the GET HTTP request to the server. What's the most minimal way I can do this and don't say CURL !@#$
