## Bare minimum C++ libcurl wrapper

### Rational

This is a C++ MINI wrapper for well known C-library "libcurl". Wrapper makes a query and gets a text or the simplest json as a result. No performance but extreme simplicity - basically makes GET, PUT queries and gets back the chars. 

See the tests for the details and examples.

### Kudos

To [magnificent Vinnie Falco](https://github.com/vinniefalco), his contribution to Boost for broader subject. 

### Dependency

* C++20

* libcurl

### Details

Allows to manage:

* url, ie insert something in the middle - in case it deals with some kind of REST API

* request headers 

* request methods

```cpp

#include "curl_client.h"

...

	std::string const test_url {"https://httpbin.org/get"};

	curl_client::request request;

	curl_client::response response = request.

			setURL(test_url)->

			implement(curl_client::Method::Get);

	

	curl_client::Print(response, std::cout);

...

```

For more examples see the ./test folder

### Testing 

Done using this special purpose and very nice [website](https://httpbin.org/). Indeed, there is no guarantee it stays online forever. 

### Usage

* Copy-paste ./curl_client into your source dir. ```add_subdirectory(curl_client)``` is expected

* Then link curl_client lib into your project, see ./tests/CMakeLists.txt as an example:

```CMake

target_link_libraries(${TESTS_NAME}

        ${GTEST_LIBRARIES}

        curl_client

)

```
