[cpp-netlib-devel] Conrtibuting to cpp-netlib

[gershon b. <ger...@gm...>]

Hi,

I just started playing with the cpp-netlib library, and I'm wondering about
more fully implementing HTTP. More specifically, I would like to add support
for cookies, callback processing, and https. Is anyone already working on
these things? How could I contribute?

I tried out the basic HTTP functionality, and it didn't load the body into
the correct variable. I submitted a patch to fix it.

Hello,
   Thanks for the interest in the cpp-netlib library. Most of the work
right now is going on in the http_integration branch of the library
and there are a couple of bugs that are being fixed with the
http::client. As of now, simple GET requests can be made to fetch data
though the body of the message needs better handling than is present
currently. The next item on the agenda is to get GET and POST requests
up and running using low level asynchronous ASIO functions in
http::client; Mr. Dean Berris has been implementing this in his spare
time and I've been writing some tests. You would want to have a look
at the tests present to have a feel of the usage and current status of
the project. Any help you can give in this regard is most welcome.

Yours sincerely,
Divye Kapoor
