Instead of giving up and looking for an alternative, find out what the problem is! – Lightness Races in Orbit Aug 11, 2011 at 10:55 SFML can - I used it once to retrieve xml's from the EVE Online API - It worked great. You just use SendRequest . I can give you a code example if you want – Seb Holzapfel Aug 11, 2011 at 11:08 Yep, well at least I think so. I did EVE requests to https://api.eveonline.com/account/characters.xml.aspx?userID=#####&apiKey=######### and it worked fine – Seb Holzapfel Aug 11, 2011 at 11:21 HTTPS protocol is not supported by sf::Http.

Perhaps these two examples will be of help to you?

no, I understand how to use libcurl functions. I can't figure out how to connect libcurl with OpenSSL to my project. When I built myself libcurl with OpelSSL, project compiled without errors, but dont run, it's just terminated without messages. Or when I tried to use already comliled libs - here what I get – Country Aug 11, 2011 at 10:53 @Country: If you now want to know why your libcurl attempts did not work, then that is a new question (and probably the one you should have asked in the first place!). – Lightness Races in Orbit Aug 11, 2011 at 10:56 @Country: The question was of poor quality and can be improved. That is certainly not a reason to give up on libcurl, which is the right tool for the job. – Lightness Races in Orbit Aug 11, 2011 at 11:00 have the same problem with libcurl, it's just crushes. I think it's related to my x64 machine.... – Dani Jul 5, 2013 at 7:34

You didn't say on which platform.

On windows there is also the WinInet-API which handles ssl transparently and uses the windows-built-in-certificates:

libcurl is imho a much friendlier API though.
