Spice bindings for libcurl, used for network transfers that need https.

[dependencies]
libcurl = "^0.1.0"

import "spice_packages/libcurl/libcurl";

The package links against the system libcurl, so its development files have to be installed:

import "spice_packages/libcurl/libcurl";

f<int> main() {
    CurlClient client;
    Result<string> res = client.downloadFile("https://example.com/index.html", "./index.html");
    if res.isErr() {
        const Error& err = res.getErr();
        printf("Download failed: %s\n", err.getMessage());
        return 1;
    }
    printf("Saved to %s\n", res.unwrap());
}

downloadFile follows redirects and overwrites the output file. Pass true as withProgress to let libcurl print a progress meter. The CURL_GLOBAL_* constants select what curl_global_init initializes and default to CURL_GLOBAL_DEFAULT.

For plain HTTP and HTTPS requests without an external library, see std/net/http-client of the standard library.
