using libcurl to create a standalone site-polling program
- by aitchnyu
I am creating a standalone (no DLLs) windows C/C++ program that uses HTTP POST to periodically send data to an HTTP server. I identified libCURL as the HTTP client library as it seems simple and reliable.
I still need to identify the environment (an IDE) which I can use to develop my project. My program has:
poller- which checks the status of the connection
a file writer when polled link is down
a component which POSTs the file when link is up
What is the appropriate IDE for this project? I heard endorsements for DevC++ and Visual C.
I am a newb to coding and this site. Pardon me if I am unclear in anything.
