https and xml


Hi all,

I am looking for suggestions. I want to write some c++ code to interface with a webiste. I need to send xml tags under https.

I want to know if there is an easy, barebones type of library I can use that takes care of those two aspects of the code. I do not mind if I need two libraries to do this, as long as they are easy enough to use. They also need to be windows and linux compatible, preferably with no rewriting of code required.

I have looked at libwww... but it is HUGE. I really do not need the multi-threaded uber potent, mega library that it is.
I have also look at libcURL, it is cool, but the c++ binding seems to be in alpha stages, and not in development in December of last Year

So, any suggestions are much appreciated.
Also, if you do suggest I use libwww, can someone tell me what compile options I need. They suggest installing other packages for xml, regexp etc... and then pointing libwww at those during compilation. Do I really need those extra packages, and if so, which ones

Finally, if I should be considering writing these implementations myself, can anyone point me to a book that covers this stuff unders windows and linux?

Cheers,

-Tim
