• https://www.howsmyssl.com/a/check

and prints the response body.

Requirements

• CMake 3.15+
• A C++ compiler with C++11 support or newer
• Internet access during configure/build (dependencies are fetched with CMake FetchContent)

Build

cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build

Run

./build/httplib_example

On Windows with multi-config generators (Visual Studio), run the executable from the config folder, for example:

.\build\Debug\httplib_example.exe

Project structure

• src/httplib_example.cpp — example client code
• cmake.toml — cmkr project definition
• CMakeLists.txt — generated CMake file

Notes

• CMakeLists.txt is generated from cmake.toml via cmkr.
• Dependencies are pinned as follows:
  • cpp-httplib: v0.33.1
