🚀 Curl Clone 🚀

A blazing-fast C++ implementation of a curl clone that supports HTTP GET, POST, DELETE, and PUT requests. It harnesses the power of the CLI11 library for command line argument parsing and dances with the standard UNIX/Linux system libraries for socket wizardry.

✨ Features

• HTTP GET requests
• HTTP POST requests
• HTTP DELETE requests
• HTTP PUT requests
• Custom headers
• Custom data for POST and PUT requests
• HTTPS support (not implemented yet)

🛠️ Dependencies

• CLI11 - The magical wand for command line argument parsing

🚧 Build and Installation

Prerequisites

• C++ compiler with C++17 support
• CLI11 library, Already enchanted into the mystical realm of 'includes' directory. 🌌✨
