That said though, I'd like to announce the availability of version 0.5 of the C++ Network Library (cpp-netlib) on both Github and Sourceforge.
You can find documentation about cpp-netlib over at
Hi Dean, This looks very worthwhile. I've implemented a number of things with embedded HTTP clients and servers, and features that I have found important but non-trivial include: - Retry on failure or timeout, using the Range: header to resume from the point of failure. - Use of OS-described proxy facilities. - %-done progress callbacks. - Support for requests and responses that are larger than the available RAM, i.e. they are streamed to/from files with appropriate encodng or decoding. - Operation in an event-loop environment i.e. "socket readable" and "socket writable" events on an OS-provided socket. Some of these things can mess up the API a bit... If you can discover clean ways to support them, I would be interested to see them. I have an HTTP request parser using Spirit, if you're interested. It is a bit grotty as I wrote it as my first exercise using Spirit - but it does work. http://svn.chezphil.org/libpbe/trunk/src/parse_http_request.cc . Regards, Phil.
