title: Are there any CURL alternatives for C++?
body: <p>I hate CURL it is too bulky with too many dependencies when all I need to do is quickly open a URL.  I don't even need to retrieve the contents of the web page, I just need to make the GET HTTP request to the server.</p>
  
  <p>What's the most minimal way I can do this and don't say CURL !@#$</p>
