A C++11 single-file header-only cross-platform HTTP/HTTPS library. It's extremely easy to setup. Just include the httplib.h file in your code! This is a multi-threaded 'blocking' HTTP library. If you are looking for a 'non-blocking' library, this is not the one that you want. SSL support is available with CPPHTTPLIB_OPENSSL_SUPPORT. libssl and libcrypto should be linked. When using SSL, it seems impossible to avoid SIGPIPE in all cases, since on some operating systems, SIGPIPE can only be suppressed on a per-message basis, but there is no way to make the OpenSSL library do so for its internal communications. If your program needs to avoid being terminated on SIGPIPE, the only fully general way might be to set up a signal handler for SIGPIPE to handle or ignore it yourself. cpp-httplib officially supports only the latest Visual Studio. It might work with former versions of Visual Studio, but I can no longer verify it.
