Is it possible to override the HTTP functions in wxHtmlWindow?

Question

I would like wxHtmlWindow to use libcurl instead of the internal wxHTTP class.

Is there an easy way to do this? If not, can I at least change the useragent wxHtmlWindow sends when it accesses pages?

Answer 1

I would create a class that manage my curl session. Setting a user agent, cookies, server to connect to etc.

Also I would make that class to be able to save the page I get from the internet to a file temp/web.htm

and then I would use something like:

htmlwin->LoadPage("temp/web.htm");

Where htmlwin is a wxHtmlWindow

This is the first thing that comes in my mind, maybe I can think to a better solution.

EDIT 1: See this link so see a little example of wrapping curl in a C++ class
