Description

Due to this repo not supporting HTTPS, I rewrote the HTTP request.
https://github.com/Nevermore1994/http-request
The new repo has the following features:

  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: The library now supports multiple operating systems, enhancing versatility and ease of use in diverse development environments.

  • HTTPS Support: Secure HTTP (HTTPS) is now fully supported, ensuring encrypted and secure data transmission.

  • Thread Safety: The library ensures safe execution in multi-threaded environments, preventing race conditions and ensuring data integrity.

  • C++17 Requirement: The library now requires C++17 or later, leveraging modern C++ features for improved performance and readability.

And I have streamlined the code logic. Currently, the code logic is very clear and easy to extend.
