Mr TheSegfault commented on MINIFICPP-981:
------------------------------------------
Definitely want to open the door for alternatives ( though I favor curlpp
because I've used it )...some of which I'm aware:
[https://os.mbed.com/users/WiredHome/code/HTTPClient/]
[https://github.com/glynos/cpp-netlib]
> Avoid maintaining our own Curl HTTP Client

> [https://github.com/jpbarrette/curlpp] may be a better alternative. I use it
> on a separate project and would have preferred starting with that. Some
> stakeholders did not want us to use that library, but I think we should avoid
> maintaining our own client and wasting cycles to fix bugs. While we can argue
> that we "know what our bugs are" I don't think that we do and there are
> likely many more. Through evolution curlpp has improved and I would not like
> to incur that cost on our project. I would prefer to avoid maintaining curl
> code and use a third party library.
