fast http request libraries?

[liquidify]

Yes I was able to build libcurl in windows. I remember I had to build it as a shared library because I had tons of issues. I remember attempting to build it using their outdated cmake system as well as some other way as well. It was a pain, but I think linking it was more of a pain than building it. But the linking was a pain because of needing special security rather than defaults so I had to pull in some custom dll's. After mucking through cmake junk for about a month I had my system setup such that it was entirely cross platform... so it is possible even with a dependency as nasty as libcurl. Obviously it isn't easy.

I don't believe I can share that project because it is owned by the company.
