我也有同样的问题。Libcurl真的很完整。如果您需要c++库，可能会对c++包装器curlpp感兴趣。neon是另一个有趣的C库，它也支持WebDAV。

如果你使用c++， curlpp看起来很自然。源代码发行版中提供了许多示例。 要获取URL的内容，你可以这样做(从示例中提取):

// Edit : rewritten for cURLpp 0.7.3
// Note : namespace changed, was cURLpp in 0.7.2 ...

#include <curlpp/cURLpp.hpp>
#include <curlpp/Options.hpp>

// RAII cleanup

curlpp::Cleanup myCleanup;

// Send request and get a result.
// Here I use a shortcut to get it in a string stream ...

std::ostringstream os;
os << curlpp::options::Url(std::string("http://example.com"));

string asAskedInQuestion = os.str();

参见curlpp源代码分发中的示例目录，有很多更复杂的情况，以及使用curlpp的简单完整的最小情况。

我的2美分…

2020年更新:我有一个新的答案来取代这个已经存在了8年的答案:https://stackoverflow.com/a/61177330/278976

在Linux上，我尝试了cppp -netlib、libcurl、curlpp、urdl、boost::asio，并考虑过Qt(但基于许可证拒绝了它)。所有这些都不是不完整的，有草率的界面，有糟糕的文档，没有维护或不支持https。

然后，在https://stackoverflow.com/a/1012577/278976的建议下，我尝试了POCO。哇，我真希望几年前就能看到。下面是一个使用POCO进行HTTP GET请求的示例:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/26026828/2817595

POCO是免费的、开源的(boost许可证)。不，我和这家公司没有任何关系;我真的很喜欢他们的界面。干得好，伙计们(和姑娘们)。

希望这能帮助到某人…我花了三天时间把所有这些库都试了一遍。

下面是一些无需使用任何第三方库即可工作的代码: 首先定义网关、用户、密码和需要发送到此特定服务器的任何其他参数。

#define USERNAME "user"
#define PASSWORD "your password"
#define GATEWAY "your gateway"

下面是代码本身:

HINTERNET hOpenHandle, hResourceHandle, hConnectHandle;
const TCHAR* szHeaders = _T("Content-Type:application/json; charset=utf-8\r\n");


hOpenHandle = InternetOpen(_T("HTTPS"), INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT, NULL, NULL, 0);
if (hOpenHandle == NULL)
{
    return false;
}


hConnectHandle = InternetConnect(hOpenHandle,
    GATEWAY,
    INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTPS_PORT,
    NULL, NULL, INTERNET_SERVICE_HTTP,
    0, 1);

if (hConnectHandle == NULL)
{
    InternetCloseHandle(hOpenHandle);
    return false;
}


hResourceHandle = HttpOpenRequest(hConnectHandle,
    _T("POST"),
    GATEWAY,
    NULL, NULL, NULL, INTERNET_FLAG_SECURE | INTERNET_FLAG_KEEP_CONNECTION,
    1);

if (hResourceHandle == NULL)
{
    InternetCloseHandle(hOpenHandle);
    InternetCloseHandle(hConnectHandle);
    return false;
}

InternetSetOption(hResourceHandle, INTERNET_OPTION_USERNAME, (LPVOID)USERNAME, _tcslen(USERNAME));
InternetSetOption(hResourceHandle, INTERNET_OPTION_PASSWORD, (LPVOID)PASSWORD, _tcslen(PASSWORD));

std::string buf;
if (HttpSendRequest(hResourceHandle, szHeaders, 0, NULL, 0))
{
    while (true)
    {
        std::string part;
        DWORD size;
        if (!InternetQueryDataAvailable(hResourceHandle, &size, 0, 0))break;
        if (size == 0)break;
        part.resize(size);
        if (!InternetReadFile(hResourceHandle, &part[0], part.size(), &size))break;
        if (size == 0)break;
        part.resize(size);
        buf.append(part);
    }
}

if (!buf.empty())
{
    // Get data back
}

InternetCloseHandle(hResourceHandle);
InternetCloseHandle(hConnectHandle);
InternetCloseHandle(hOpenHandle);

这应该在Win32 API环境中工作。

这里有一个例子。

HTTP协议非常简单，因此编写HTTP客户端非常简单。 这里有一个

https://github.com/pedro-vicente/lib_netsockets

它使用HTTP GET从web服务器检索文件，服务器和文件都是命令行参数。远程文件保存为本地副本。

声明:我是作者

检查http.cc https://github.com/pedro-vicente/lib_netsockets/blob/master/src/http.cc

int http_client_t::get(const char *path_remote_file)
{
  char buf_request[1024];

  //construct request message using class input parameters
  sprintf(buf_request, "GET %s HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: %s\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n", path_remote_file, m_server_ip.c_str());

  //send request, using built in tcp_client_t socket
  if (this->write_all(buf_request, (int)strlen(buf_request)) < 0)
  {
    return -1;
  }
