Missing documentation about curlcpp

[glaubitz]

I think it would be better to leave this issue open until you have written the documentation, wouldn't it?

Hi @glaubitz
You could try something like this:

int main() {
    // Let's create an object which will contain a list of headers.
    curl_header header;
    // Easy object to handle the connection.
    curl_easy easy;

    // Add custom headers.
    std::string jsonInfo = "{\"username\":\"abc\",\"password\":\"abc\"}";
    header.add(jsonInfo);
    header.add("Content-type: application/json");

    // Add the headers to the easy object.
    easy.add<CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER>(header.get());
    // Your URL.
    easy.add<CURLOPT_URL>("http://localhost:10443/v0.1/metrics/windows/1442");
    // Custom request.
    easy.add<CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST>("PUT");
    // You can choose between 1L and 0L (enable verbose video log or disable)
    easy.add<CURLOPT_VERBOSE>(0L);

    try {
        // Request execution
        easy.perform();
    } catch (curl_easy_exception error) {
        // If you want to get the entire error stack we can do:
        curlcpp_traceback errors = error.get_traceback();
        // Otherwise we could print the stack like this:
        error.print_traceback();
    }
    return 0;
}

Let me know if this works!

@glaubitz any news?

Hi Guiseppe!

Thanks for your suggestion, but I have already solved the issue by using curlpp instead.

I had to use the wrapper in a project and had to find a solution real quick since the whole project is going to be in production real soon and this particular part where curl is employed always had to be in a state were it could be demoed two weeks ago.

curlpp has examples and a usable documentation which helped me integrating it into my project real quick. I would therefore suggest to include some example code, too, and write some documentation so that other developers who want to integrate your library don't have to study the sources to figure out how to use curlcpp in their particular use case.

Thanks,
Adrian
