Perform a simple HTTP request using C++ / Boost via a proxy?

Question

I'm quite a newbie with Boost, and my only experience of surfing though a proxy using a library is using .NET (that is really convenient for that purpose). I'm now trying to perform a simple HTTP request through a HTTP proxy.

Is there a tidy way to do it using boost directly?

My proxy use a NTLM authentification.

Answer 1

No, Boost provides neither an HTTP client nor a way to interface with proxies. You would necessarily have to implement those features yourself.

Libraries like cURL provide that support.
